I believe it has not risen much thanks to the Virgin reissue. I paid $100
for mine around twenty years ago.

That is correct. I have heard that "See My Way" was made as a demo by
Townshend and Daltrey. I have always wondered what happened to the
multi-tracks of "Happy Jack", "Pictures of Lily" and "Heaven and Hell." At
least Shel Talmy didn't lose any.

I agree there also. I have always preferred the mono "Run Run Run."

It's getting confusing. I don't have the "Magic Bus" CD but I believe the LP
version is on the "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" CD. However, the long 4:28
version is only on the "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" LP. Got that? :-)
