Are we talking about a U.S. release here or the British version ?
I've seen the British original going for 140 pounds (work it out...)
although I bought mine for 25 pounds ! It's crazy isn't it ? I could
have had the re-issue for 40 pounds at a record fair but I'd already
spent 100 pounds on Kate Bush stuff that day. That's life. The
difference between the original and the re-issue are that they have
different sized black borders at the edge of te record. I believe the
re-issue has a very thin border while the original is about 5 mm. It
could possibly be the other way around but I don't have the information
to hand. I'll look it up when I get home tonight.
