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)
