A quick look at Discogs tells me they are a bit more than $5 these days! A lot of the Speakers Corner releases are 2nd tier collectables that they can licence and the tapes are in available.
It's not that easy to find mint early pressings anyway and SC analogue master them from the original tapes. The wholesale price in the UK is pretty decent. I might not want to pay the retail price outside of Europe but for a well pressed, mint version with a high quality tip on reproduction cover it's a decent proposition.
4 other releases in the last year have been brilliant :-
Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign
Carla Thomas - The Queen Alone
Charlie Byrd - More Brazilian Byrd
LaVern Baker Sings Bessie SmithI think they are better value than Mofi / Analogue Productions but that's mostly due to the tax/shipping on the US audiophile stuff. Another good repro label in the same vein is Jazz Dispensary, great pressings of The Three Pieces - Vibes Of Truth, Charles Kynard - Aphrodisiac.
I've got a list of stuff you can sell me for $5 a piece though :)

Isn't Gris-Gris easy to pick up? I think mine was only five bucks, may have been twenty years ago but...
