FWIW if you want a copy of this album my advice is just find an early UK copy as close to a first press as possible. Used to be an easy find, but getting far harder to find clean ones, but even so shouldn’t run to a fortune. I’ve got one that could pretty much pass as new with -2 matrixes both sides, poster, inner etc and the extent to which it killed a more recent issue (the last 2xLP anniversary issue) was just comical. It is a very good sounding record. One that really didn’t need any screwing around with.
PS Several years ago I spotted a copy of the Nimbus at the local auction. It was a nice copy, in great condition, but in with a whole load of shite I really didn’t want to have to skip (scratched Elvis, brass bands, just junk). Unusually for that place someone else must have spotted it as the lot went over £200 (can’t remember what exactly). I bailed fairly early as I just couldn’t be bothered. Still a good price for the Nimbus as it can make >£700, but to be honest I struggle with stuff at that sort of price as I don’t sell on eBay or Discogs. I’ve never had one pass through, but do rate the Nimbus stuff (I’ve got four and sold loads over the years). They are very, very good sounding records even if they just look like a typical ‘80s reissue!
