I'd prefer to get a copy of Blood on the Tracks next, but I suppose that'd it'd be worth having Self-Portrait in the long run. I'll check the condition of the 10 dollar copy next time I'm there and see what's up.
You`re doing remarkably well with your collection, chives ! I have( or had) 13 vinyl albums and 6 cds, but I had the luxury of buying them over the years, as they were released. I still remember the dilemma of buying Oh Mercy
, which broke my run of vinyls with a cd.

The problem with Self Portrait, imo, is that the style of the songs is all over the place:I never liked listening to it consecutively, but would jump around, one track here, one track there.

I`m guessing that you meant under-rated here, Blasting. Yes, Sign On The Window is a wonderful track. I love the resigned way Bob delivers the line " Sign on a window says three`s a crowd"
