Yea, lottery can be frustrating - yet I also had a lot of faff with classifieds, Discogs is often expensive and there's this shit with the shipping rules that quite a few people can't wrap their head around apparently - and local record shops are just a pain these days because of Covid (walked by one earlier today and there were three people already waiting outside in the cold because there's a maximum of two customers allowed inside these days).
Oh and yea it's the blue marbled version, this one.
Fucking love that album.

I had to give up real record shops a long time ago. Basically built one in my room to keep me busy!
Discogs delivery is a big debate at the moment because it's tied up with PayPal and Discogs have insisted that customers should always be able to see an upfront price. They are also insisting that Paypal is the payment method of choice and a lot of people are happy with bank transfer.
I didn't find it that difficult to update my shipping policies but I understand some sellers have different stock and some are used to selling direct without PayPal.
I expect you know the background of KoB and the discovery that side 1 had been released at the wrong speed so everyone had been listening to it for 50 years 1.25% faster than the original pitch.
From what I've heard it's a lottery. However they are very good at accepting returns until you reach a fairly high number and then they stop accepting your orders. At least that's what I've seen recorded.
Is it the Columbia version in Blue? I got hold of the MoFi version a couple of years ago and it's great. Such a good album though, even the cd's are worth having.
