You've got to be kidding me!?  Heh...guess my local shop hasn't figured out
the going prices for old Mantronix 12"s ;)  recently got a mint copy of
"musical madness" for $3 as well as the "sing a song (break it down)" 12"
single for $1.  and then I picked up for $2 the ltd. to 200 test pressing
of his recent "music for the dusted" 12" including the original "king of
the beats" which doesn't appear on the commercial release ...and I think
there's more where that came from.  this is in small college town ohio mind
you.
