Looks like it was corrected. Someone must have put the decimal in the wrong place. I though $1700 might be a tad on the high side. LOL

^Yes it is, haven't spun it yet though. The Eurythmics is Strong NM, but the Trilogy ended up a disappointment. Listed as NM but really more of a VG at best. I hate it when these guys look at the surface and say "Oh, nice and shiny, must be NM but don't even do a quick surface check. This one opened with over a minute and a half of golf shoes dancing on bubble wrap. My OG copy sounds better, and I was trying to upgrade IT.
SIGH ! Stern Smile
Luckily it didn't cost much.

EDIT (1.5Hr later)
Just playing the Tears For Fears now and it is Minty Mint !!!

^ Great records......I have:
Now and Zen-Over all a great listen, really good songs on that one.
Saga-I originally bought that on cassette (still have it) and several yrs ago found a NM vinyl. I'm a big Saga fan, the recent reissues are excellently done.
Tears For Fears-A brilliant album. I have CD, cassette and the 2014 reissue sounds pretty good, side II sounds awesome. Is that an OG pressing?

When you listen to LP's and/or CD's on your main system, do you adjust volumes and EQ for each release or, like me, do you use the same setting always to compare mixes and mastering?
CD output is much higher than your cartridge, your CD player is probably around 2V output and a MM cartridge is about 4-5 mV (depending on brand), hence why you need a phono preamp to get it up to line level.

If you want to truely A/B then you should use a DB meter (app on your phone is fine) to level match the volume output. I just turn down the volume when playing CDs by ear.

I have a copy and want to value it for my list.

Unofficial releases are hard to value, I would just keep searching the WWW for copies or info. Maybe $2 maybe it's $200......?

See the thing with mine is its kinda damaged..so I only get both speakers working if it's on a VERY specific volume.. I haven't messed around with EQ, though it could probably use it on my copy of Tubular Bells

Nice NT reference. Respect !

I read many of the comments later on, clearly a ruse. LOL
