Somewhat lower down the league tables of re-release costs, I've just nabbed a near-mint copy of Beefheart's "Safe As Milk" album (Buddha label remaster incl bonus tracks) for £1.99 + p&p!!
I think I paid 14/6d for my old vinyl copy... from an electrical retailer who seemed to stock a small and random selection of records.
I think you would have bought it from the old Marble Arch rack. A good source of albums by Donovan and The Kinks as well as Kenny Ball and old blues artistes. In fact anything that had been on Pye.
That's exactly right - I'd forgotten Marble Arch... thanks Nick!
