Just looked again and I can get it for £31.99 new or a second hand one for £7.99+ p&p.
You buy albums? There's an album thread doing its bizz on this forum as we speak. Apparently ladies are banned...or you would think so anyway

Re: The Byrds Vs. The Kinks
Always going to be The Kinks very underrated in the early years.Mainly because at the time there were so many new bands coming through it was hard to keep up with them all.Wrote some great songs and I guess I have collected most of them over the years.
I reckon the thing that let the Byrds down imo was there were to many individuals with different styles. Which is probably why they had more comebacks than Rocky.
I have no doubt The Byrds were good in their own rites but The Kinks were family orientated and you could feel it when they played.Ray Davies to this day is still one of the great musicians,but thats just my opinion.
I read somewhere sometime ago that The Kinks were "An accurate and eloquent social group of English History".
