There's a mint copy for $22 at my local. Pretty sure I got my copy in the 90's for a few bucks. Those were the days!

If you happen to see it next time you’re there and change your mind on buying it for someone here…I’ve been wanting a copy for forever and can’t find a remotely affordable one. Last time I saw one in the wild it was $65 at a shop in VG/VG.

Have a look at European releases, they’re more than when I bought it 3 or 4 years ago but they can still be found in the £30/€35 range, especially with you being over this way in the summer!
 
I was happy to secure a sleeveless copy of Tracy Chapman for $10 a year and change ago now, it slaps. I will imagine how nice the Quiex is but even the regular old pressings take most other records to the woodshed.

The same store has a beautiful, minty copy on the wall...for $100. I'm still on the hunt for just a sleeve to make a Frankencopy at this point.

The rare hugely popular record that's in need of a repress for quantity issues as opposed to quality.

I'm wondering if Whitney (Whitney Houston) is following in the track - big sound, well pressed, a bajillion copies of an all-timer record, and it's creeping up for good quality copies in the U.S. Not Tracy level but...

I'm sure if you trawl discogs for a F media/ Vg+ sleeve eventually you'll find one! I'm waiting on a Tom waits for the same thing....

A Couple RSD adds. Art Pepper mono will be on the way here soon as well.

and one local bin add I didn't have (talked down to 14 as it was VG++ not M). @MikeH was helping me decide on Mott direction recently, this original sounds really good! and cheaper than the reissue or comp.
