Sgt. Pepper's goes for $75?? Sweet!

Oh, wait, you're not talking about the soundtrack to the movie, with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, are you :(

and this version (capitol records - stereo - without "subsidiary of capitol industries" printed on a black label with a colorband around it) does....at least.
