I just saw it for $22.  If anyone wants it, send me e-mail, I'll buy it 
for you (assuming you'll reimburse me...  I ain't giving anyone 
twenty-buck gifts.).  Or, if you're in the Boston area, just drop by 
Second Coming records on Mass. Ave three-four blocks from Harvard Sq.

Note:  I'll be in the L.A. area next weekend, so if you're a So-Cal, it 
makes things significantly easier.
