I recently found a used copy of Frank's All My Ghosts single, the 4trk one with the kick ass Dylan cover on it. I have only found one copy of this anywhere else on the net, on CDNow.com, and the guy is asking $300 for it. Can anyone here clue me in as to whether this CD is really THAT rare, or is this guy on CDNow.com smoking something?

cheers
tom

It's not that rare. I think someone else here asked about this several months ago (meaning the $300 CD has sat unsold for awhile).

If you look at the guy's other stuff, he's selling a lot of random $7 and $8 CDs. He's not a "rare records" guy. My guess is that $300 is a typo. Either that or he's real misinformed.

That particular version of the single was on eBay and going for something like...$700 or $900. Maybe even in the $1000s. People are constantly trying to sell this single for ridiculous amounts of money, and nobody knows why.

I was the one looking for it earlier.

I think you can still buy it from some French retailer for a few bucks...nothing too exciting.

I'm still kickin' myself I did'nt get it when I saw it in a record shop ages ago, even though I have it in the form of the FB+C's 2CD edition. I just love that cool trees illustration and the cardboard cover!

Cardboard cover? I have the "All My Ghosts" 4 trk single, and it's in a maxi case. I grabbed it in a local record shop about the time DITS had come out. I can't believe it would sell for as much as some of you are saying though. I agree with Dave, it has to available somewhere for a few bucks.

I love that cover....by the way, I did'nt mean a thin cardboard 'slip' cover-I think the 'Ghosts CD I saw may have been a kind of fold-out cardboard thingy. Unfortunately, I can't remember.

I know the kind you mean, with the plastic tray in it. I have never seen it that way. Here's the 4 track on ebay right now as well.

I have a promo of "I Gotta Move" with "Humboldt" and a rather lengthy conversation with Frank over dinner. The cover is very similar to the one linked to above. Anyone know how common it is?

That "I Gotta Move" CD is on ebay a lot. I don't think it ever sells for more than $10.

I paid $3 for it, so I didn't figure it was worth much. Not like I buy these as "investments", anyhoo. Thanks.

I had emailed the guy selling the $300 copy of this via cdnow/amazon and he told me "supply and demand" that there aren't many around and that he's "sold them for this price in the past." Ridiculous.
