Yup...he explained it to me. I really don't know if they were ever big in 
Canada (or at least in the west). So what do you think of MC-5?

I'll check out the record store for that and take a look.

Well, I did pretty good then. I paid $8 (CDN) for both of the Pink Floyd 
albums, $20 (CDN) for the Grand Funk album (about 15 yrs ago), and $30 (CDN) 
for the Five Man Electrical Band album. I try to purchase most of my records 
from Garage sales and private sales from the paper.
