A side note, I think that my copy of his Complete Recordings box is the most expensive vinyl album I've bought so far. Not that it was THAT much...I just don't buy a lot of expensive stuff.

It's not original is it? If it was I bet it was THAT expensive.

I've never thought to check because for the amount of music I was getting it seemed worth it. I mean, it's not one of the 2-LP reissues that I see around these days. Its a 3-LP box with booklets and ad inserts. It was around 50 bucks because I got during a used vinyl sale (they originally wanted 100). So I guess it's original. It has been worth every penny, regardless.
