have a copy of 'heart of the congos' for long time, but a year or so ago i picked up the 2LP set from blood and fire for 10 or 15 euro on e bay. well worth the money, pristine pressing of this classic. bargain of the year for me.

I found Fred Locks's "The Missing Link" on Amazon for $4.99 + s&h.One of my favorites since then.

I bought a very cheap job lot of LPs and 12 inch 45s earlier this year and in there was an almost MINT copy of this (which usually sells for plenty!):
[cover=5412,4204]
I also once bought the pre-release of Leggo Dub for £1.50. But that was in 1979 and I subsequently sold it for 50p...
