No kidding. I turned down lots of good stuff at ten cents a disc (and 25 cents 
for the twelve-inchers at The Cripps, which later became Goodwill) in the mid 
60s because of financial restraints. The one I'm still kicking myself for 
(hard, in the head, and twice on Sundays) is the pair of Program Transcriptions 
of Carpenter's "Skyscrapers" with Nat Shilkret conducting.
