Really-From: Mark Anderson <manderso@ugly.cs.ubc.ca> To complete my collection of the 5 KT albums on CD, I have only to buy _TKI_. All the record stores around here have the "Tammy Wynette" version (a.k.a. Treasury Series) -- I could probably pick it up for $12-$16 (CDN). But I really don't like the cover of that CD, and based on my experiences with _The Dreaming_, it's likely missing the lyrics and liner notes. On a weekend excursion out of town I stumbled into a record store with lots of obscure records and CDs, and lo and behold they had the UK import version of _TKI_ -- for $30! (about $25 US). Before I splurge, would someone tell me if this is a complete rip-off? In the vinyl dept. of the same store was a 2-record set called (I believe) _Moving_ which seemed to be a live album. I've never seen or heard of this before. Think it was on red vinyl. This was $60! Can anyone tell me what this is? -- Mark Anderson <manderso@ugly.cs.ubc.ca> {att!alberta,uw-beaver,uunet}!ubc-cs!ugly.cs.ubc.ca!manderso "Narrow mind would persecute it, die a little to get to it..."

Before I splurge, would someone >tell me if this is a complete rip-off? 30 bucks??? OUCH! Granted, when I've gone CD shopping on occasional trips to Canada, I thought their prices were high, even taking into account the U.S./Canadian exchange rate. But I payed less than half that price (in U.S. funds) for my own import copy of _TKI_! This was from a store here in Rochester (New York) whose prices tend to run a couple bucks more than the general going price for CDs (but they have a great selection of alot of new music that you can't really find anywhere else in town). It took them awhile to get me a copy, but they finally came through. So don't pay the big bucks for it! Steve <Waltman.Henr@Xerox.COM>
