      Price is one of the worst artists ever. Just absolute garbage. Change my mind. Who would pay 27.5K on this piece of garbage?

          Amazingly rare album here. Wait. Maybe not, considering 30 people say they have it. I'd venture to say 2-3 actually own this version.

              $27,500 - that's expensive vinyl - and I thought Spinal Tap's black album "Smell The Glove" on Polymer Records was rare ;-)

                  For years, I'd suspected that a legit Canadian pressing of this must've been hiding away who knows where.

                  And I always pictured it being a Cinram pressing as opposed to a CBS pressing. Who knows? (Maybe there is a Cinram copy locked away in a trench, a Swiss bank...you picture it. Of course, to handle a fair bit of volume, WEA Canada at the time split the pressing workload for some of their releases between Cinram and CBS. Since thousands of advance copies of the Black Album were pressed here AND abroad before the cancellation and recall, I'd bet that WEA Canada might have done the plant splitting for this one too, although some of their releases were only ever made by one plant.)

                  After word came out about this mega-flip, turns out I was right in one count - that there indeed exists a Canadian pressing, no matter how implausible and insatiable such a suspicion may seem.
