It might be worth checking against the discography but my guess would be
that the really cheap CDs will be the "Master of the Universe" "British
Tribal Music" "Yuri Gagarin" variants since these (including Text of
Festival) have all now been bought out by the insta-endless-rerelease
companies.    The "Acid Daze" stuff may also be there as well.

And check the tracklists against the Codex in case you've already got
versions of the tracks somewhere else.
