Very true, Ken. Actually I bought this record on eBay for very little
money, and the seller did post good scans of the label. Perhaps he just
missed the real audience for the thing...lucky me.
When I first started bidding on eBay in 1999, lots of sellers of various
types of materials did not use pictures. Now it is almost impossible to
find any auction listing for any item which does not have some kind of
illustration.
