That's their debut LP, Bombora. This album sold like hotcakes in
Australia, and you can easily get it on eBay for much less than that
(well, I did a few years ago, I don't know what it's like now). Their
subsequent two LPs are much rarer, especially their third, Explosive
Sound Of, so that one MIGHT be worth that much, but definitely not for
Bombora. It's my least favorite of their three LPs anyway (though
still good), mostly cause it's the most derivative one - they sound a
lot like the Shadows on it. Anyway, check it out on eBay, and then
see if it's worth it.
BTW, all the tracks on that LP are on CBS Complete REcordings Vol. 1,
since those two CDs were done in chronological order.
