Thats what I thought, but I have never seen this come up for sale on CD.

i bought it on cd probably.....15 years ago? must have been a 90s reissue, but don't know that for certain.

I saw it recently on Amazon UK for around £30.

Just had another look and it's now listed at £50!!!

I wouldn't mind it myself, but not for that price. The vinyl usually goes for around £10.

That's not what it's worth - it's just what someone has listed it on Amazon Marketplace for.

Sometimes people list things for silly prices, but they don't actually sell and just sit there for months/years. Same with eBay. *Maybe* someone would pay £50 for a Japanese release (with the famous obi strip that people seem to love), or something actually rare - but certainly not a major label reissue that happens to have gone out of print.

Put it on your eBay watchlist and wait until someone lists one for a reasonable starting price. You'll probably get it for a similar price to the vinyl.

Yes, I know that those ridiculous Amazon prices seldom reflect the item's true value. I'd have a fortune in out-of-print cd's if they did!

Anyway, I just spent £10 on the vinyl

... which is probably the best way to sonic heaven anyhow
