This record has come WAY DOWN in value since it sold on Nov 14, 1999 for 
$ 11,154.54 .  Kurt was the runner up bidder (they gave the identities 
back then) at $100 less, and the other bids were 6999, 6699, 6699, 6500, 
6399, 5999, 3900, 3000, 1300, 1150, and 1100.  These were all different 
bidders.  Have all of these bidders satisfied their quests for this 
record?   I printed this out along with the images to put in the Vogue  
Dischi Di Songno book.  (By the way, if your mail program only 
identifies responses with "you wrote", please spend a few seconds and 
include the identity of who you are quoting.)
