Thanks to GuitarBizarre and jackhammer for the responses. I am primarily a rock/pop music fan and purchase only recordings I like (or I expect I'll like, although admittedly my batting average is not 1.000
) and not based primarily on collector value speculation. I have been seeking several of Elvis Costello Rhino 2-CD reissues with the Attractions, including
Blood and Chocolate, and in doing so, happened on the proffered mislabeled copy that initiated this thread. Very occasionally I have found and purchased some unique recordings based both on musical content and potential future value, but the artistic value always has priority. I do not have anywhere near the amount of knowledge required to speculate in the collector recordings market. In other words--apologies accepted from jackhammer
. Incidentally, I found available copies of
Blood and Chocolate from several sellers and the advice has helped me narrow my choices.
Thanks!
PG

If you are a big fan then please accept my apologies!
