I would love to have this cd but it was going for $90 plus dollars! Too much for me [:(]

How about joining the hub. You might be able to find it there [:D]. Personally I find Volume 1 to be the worst of the series.

I gave up trying to get on to the hub. I would love to but it just doesent seem to work for me. I like to hear the extended versions of songs and the volume 1 has some good ones. Which is your favorite Swamp Thing?

WOW!! $90.00 + for Vol.1. I was fortunate (although I didn't know it then) to know one of the main guys at SPG, and was able to buy a box of 20 copies of Vol. 1 for $10.00 CDN each. I actually got them about a week before it's official release. I gave mo

I would say the quality of vol. 1 was the worst but I'm not sure about it being the worst volume. It's got some of my favourites from the whole series including Scary Thieves "The Waiting Game", The Mood "Need Your Love", and two versions of the Puppets

Hardest Hits 3 is my favorite!

Around 92' I paid $100 for a *copy* of Hardest Hits 1. This was before eBay and the internet. I actually purchased it via a guy who was advertising in Goldmine who collected OOP CD's and records and offered to make copie

I agree with SwampThing that 3 is the best.
The most I ever paid for a CD on eBay was a Japanese pressing of local Boston band Face To Face's self titled 1984 release. Way over $100, but I don't regret it...[:I]

I downloaded a lot of these when they were on Usenet earlier this year at 320-44 quality, some good stuff on there.
