Availability: Unfortunately, this record is not easy to find. I've seen it go for $150 on Ebay once. However, it is possible to get it - with a lot of patience and searching and luck! - for about $40 (plus $10 postage for overseas shipping) on Ebay. Quite a few of them have shown up on the German Ebay during the last years, more than on the U.S. Ebay and UK Ebay (in fact I've never seen it on the UK Ebay yet), so it's worth keeping a watch out for it on Ebay worldwide.
