I've always loved that song, since finding it cheap at a Flea Market in the
'80s. . .
I have the LP downstairs on the IKEA shelves with 1,500+ other albums. . .

Most of my covers & sleeves are in ratched condition -- not saleable, except for sentimental value.
Consideruing I paid about $2 eachfor most, not unexpected.
I did buy one new condition Deep Purple online from a shop in Ontario -- they shipped it beautifully -- I've not played it yet as I'd prefer to preserve the vinyl & play the album (Book of Taliesyn) on YouTube. Still looking for a good price for their symphony they wrote, then recorded with the London Philharmonic.
Saw it once for $50 in a used record store downtown where I then lived, but it was 2 days ere payday & he wouldn't hold it, as he had a couple interested persons already -- it ended up selling that day or the next. . .
I'll have to check that last online store I used. . .
We have a classic rock store here in Richmond, down by the river, with lots of, mostly Brit Rock, priced at the upper end of non-auction collectibles.
Might have to go browse some time there & pick up a favourite or two each trip, just to flesh out my colection with some in shiny new condition (covers et al included)
