Buy it if only to re-sell it!

If nothing else, you should go back and get it to resell. It's pretty hard to find, and is in demand among Lacy collectors.

One side is solo - it's good; maybe not the best solo Lacy performance. The other side is with two members of MEV - Musica Elettronica Viva. This side is not "typical" Lacy, if there is such a thing, and not particularly "jazzy." It is excellent avant-garde (for lack of a better term) music. The synth is used for color, not in any kind of pop/fusion fashion.

This is Lacy's music at its most challenging - not for the Lacy neophyte. Like I say, it's a sought-after item. I bought a new copy back in the day, and it sounded like crap from day one - Horo pressings are famously poor.

Great minds....

I'll give you $10.00 if it's not clean but not totally trashed.
