Not that hard to find at all.

Here 8 offers, from EUR 7.

Sure, I'm well aware that almost anything is order-able online--that's how I get most of my newer music. I'd rather not if I can find the CD. That's part of the reason for the post: if it's simple chance that I haven't found it, I'll figure I can hold out until I run across it (as I have a pretty mobile lifestyle). If its that it hasn't been released on CD, or some other reason, maybe I'll just go ahead and either order the CD or download the album.

But to answer your question:
It’s that good
Folks who’ve bought it never get rid of it.

It’s right here: https://www.amazon.com/Crossings-HERBIE-HANCOCK/dp/B000056P03

I generally order online when I can’t find X album in stores. My copy of Crossings was found in a Danish music shop though

Edith: also it’s dirt cheap over Amazon!

I collect a lot of my music from CD's at music stores--particularly any artist/band that is popular enough to be widely distributed (in the U. S. Primarily).  I've picked up nearly all my Herbie Hancock CD's this way, since he nearly always has a spot in the Jazz section at these stores. Certain of his albums are common and frequently found: Head Hunters and Maiden Voyage, for example. I've even come across Sextant a few times (one of the so-called Mwandish albums).

Yet, even having been to dozens of these stores over the years (used and new), I've never been able to find Crossings anywhere--his highest rated album on PA. I've also never seen Crossings on vinyl, though I don't search the vinyl section as much. Anybody know why that might be?  Limited or no release on CD? Chance? Or some other reason.  Thanks.
