I agree, but Verlaine's CDs have been rare for years. Finding a copy of THE
WONDER in 1994 took me months, but when I finally found a copy (via GOLDMINE
magazine), it cost me $8 - same for FLASHLIGHT. The sudden rise in prices
surprises me, because Verlaine is just as low-profile as he has been since 1994
- there's no new album, single, cameo, etc., to generate interest (that I know
of), yet public interest has definitely climbed (and no, I don't think the film
score shows are big public attention-getters).

Hey man, I made it through the first few pages (as you know) before getting my
ass kicked... now don't that buckle my belt? :^)
