-Brian,
There are a few 2 fers out there with a mix of vocal and instro
songs, but your best money speant is a Japanese comp. titled movin'
the best of the astronauts. It's a little pricey, but well worth the
money. It's all instro, all the best shit.
Check yahoo or other online services, if you can't find it there.
I'll see if my work can order it, it's out of print,but sometimes
the Jap manufacturing plants get unsold returns.
