Why is Hancock's "Crossings" CD so hard to find?

Hi Pierre
Holy crap it’s been ages. I see you’re in lockdown mode as well. At least some of us don’t have any difficulty in passing the time when we’re around our music collections (books are brilliant too)
I’m still working something like a full day...every other week, because the school I work at only is “open” for a few select kids that don’t have anywhere else to stay. It’s weird..but then again I had a wonderful 9 hour workday yesterday, which is something I don’t say that often We had everything to ourselves plus sunshine and warm weather. I spent most of the day dancing around to some Funkadelic with a laughing kid on my shoulder

Regarding the whole cd situation? Depends entirely on what exactly one is hunting for. Some of the old school albums that somehow lost traction with the youngins over time presumably get more scarce as they don’t get re-released in the same way say Sticky Fingers does
I’ve been ordering from Danish and Swedish online shops lately and have been surprised of the type of selection they have to offer. In some instances I’ve come across albums I’d been searching for for ages. Case in point: Älgarnas Trädgård’s Delayed. Yup found that baby hiding out with a ridiculously cheap pricetag attached to it

I did once see recently the superb original gatefold sleeve vinyl, but very pricy (it was mint or near mint). I passed up, but changed my mind the next day and it was gone There is a superb small Atlantic Years boxset that includes Fat Albert, Mwan & Crossing in nthe form of brilliant cardboard sleeve (especially for Crossings), but saddly not sextant (on CBS) What I would be really looking for in the cardborad sleeve MiniLp of Sextant If I absolutely love the Mwandishi era, I'm definitely less into the Head Hunters era (though Man Child, I really like) Great, but where are you located? (i'm "Now" too, but aren't we all)--not in the West U.S. I'm thinking. I'm currently in AZ, and recently went to several music stores in Phoenix, thinking for sure I'd find much of what I wanted, including Crossings.  No go with HH, but at least did get a couple great finds. In the West, the best stores for variety of CDs/vinyl, including Prog, are on the coast: Portland and San Fran--though I've forgotton the names; haven't gotten out that way for a while.  The one in the Bay area is HUGE, and even has prog/experimental sections for CDs. .... Actually, I'll look it up....  I'ts Amoeba Music.  Don't remember if I simply didn't find Crossings last I was there, or wasn't thinking about it--I picked up a lot! (3-4 years ago or so).  They also have a location in Berkeley where I was able to grab 3  Hogarth-era Marillion CDs for relatively cheap.
