Jon, you not-very-bright lad.  I know *I* am not going to run out and buy
Two Rooms; I learned *MY* lesson after running out and buying "Theodore"
when it came out.  OK, I've gotten some triffic compilations in the past
(especially those wonderful Warner Brothers ones - they've had some great bands
on thier roster, for a Major Label (tm)).  And I LIKE Elton John!

Maybe I'll record a copy (for backup purposes only) from someone who was
willing to shell out the bucks; I've got better things to spend MY cash on!
