   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)
