...while most are in trashed condition, they sold so many copies that there are a lot of nice ones out there. I have had 3 or 4 NM ones. In fact, they're so common, they're getting tough to sell. I hardly bother to pick them any more.
I have the one you just acquired. Yes, excellent, must have album. It IS sorta like a club :-)I was lucky, the first one I found contained 1S and 2S pressings and was NM. I have acquired a few others since, all in reasonable condition, but none as good as that first. I even found a nice mono version for comparison.
The 'Returns to Carnegie' is also a very nice set. You have to get both :-)

you are correct in that it was a hugely popular recording. The Irish don't seem to have that sort of luck around here though. I have handled probably sixty copies of that Lp trying to find a good one and probably only have two in my collection that are passable, none NM. I had to lower my standards just to find one! I could have just bought one from a dealer through the mail that was in nice shape without having to hunt through so many dusty stacks of Lps but where would the challenge be in that! It is a testiment to it being fun music that so many were used so often. The same is true with Beatles Lp's and many others. They made loads of 'em, but then there have been loads of parties since!
Hunting for old records locally is akin to treasure hunting and is so addictive and exciting for many collectors (who am I enlightening here, right!) that it is really the hunt that is so much fun. In the same vein, there is an emerald mine somewhere in NC and perhaps a ruby mine also where you can actually dig and find stones yourself. Probably not as easy as heading to the jeweler and getting a perfect stone without getting your jeans dirty, but imagine the feeling of finding a big-ass green rock that's yours for only $20 or whatever the fee is! I have only bought a few of my many records through mail-order and the rest have come from either local shops, mainly The Record Exchange or through private sales or a junk shop find.
