    Fancy that.  I did just recently get the _Piper_ remaster from a market
stall about 10 quid. :)  And strangely enough, it was because they guys in
the stall had gone and got a massive load of them in the US and brought
them back to England to sell (probably dodging loads of customs duty, but
what the hell ;)  They had a lot of them, and so knocked a quid off the
price for me (probably, as Jazza remarked at the time, because I was
scaring away other customers by lurking in front of their stall.

    32 quid for the white album is obscene.  Beatles aren't el cheapo in
the States (though you can often find them used) but they're not *that*
expensive.

Cheers,
Carl
