I found this in the 1990s in a store bottom crate possibly marked "used store editions" - a very clean nice edition - quite worn - that i've been playing for YEARS - but now have this on CD, did not realize it was so worn yet valuable! Since this is the SP version i hope someone that loves her music as much as i do can add it to their collection!
