        I owned a copy of this 10-15 years back that I must've unearthed at one of two used record shops I worked at in LA in the 90's.
        Wound up selling it in a box of semi rare stuff to Amoeba shortly after relocating to NYC ten years ago.
        Needed some scratch at the time and evidently didn't realize just how rare this piece was...I knew it must've been somewhat since it was the only copy I've ever come across.
        Noticed his name on the rear cover though he's not pictured on the front of back.
        And it's Minneapolis based.
        I let out a yell when I looked for it out of the blue on here earlier and saw what it sold for a few months back.
        I think amoeba gave me 30-40 bucks for it at the time.
        D'oh!
        Of my entire collection...rarest, highest ticket Lp I've ever owned.
        Oh well...
