That's a cool album, but $300? You have to be kidding.

Yeah. About a month after somebody pays that, it will be re-released
for $15.

Some guy on Amazon wants $329 for his used German copy.

Ridiculous.

I bought a copy of this long ago and have played it twice. Why would
it be worth so much, the playing at least to me, is not all that
great.

I guess it is worth $300+ to someone who *must* have it and is willing
to pay $300+.

I have the LP. It is easily Eric Gale's best effort as far as straight
jazz/blues goes. Nice album, but not at $300+.

If you're an Eric Gale jazz fan, then it's one of his best albums.
If you're more of a mainstream jazz guitar guy, it's nothing special.
What this album is good for is showing how to force BB King
licks over simple jazz changes and make it work. Nobody does
that better than Eric.

It finally went for $53. I guess that's a bargain?
