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)       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 134/100 153/105 135 141       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 267/67 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 920/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
