Ouch!!!!!  :o Just checked a currency converter.  1 British Pound = 1.5277 in real money.   Wink2  :jester:

Yeah, art's expensive, and the cost reflects a limited run, a signed print and the high quality of the reproduction. These ain't dorm room wall posters.

There's a Pentangle Sweet Child reproduction there, a silk-screen done in 10 colors, by the original artistt at a cost of about $1600 American. The album is one of my all time favorites but that's too rich for me.

The Gun was a late 1960s British rock guitar trio who had a single British Top Ten hit, "Race with the Devil" and recorded two albums before disbanding.
Their debut album's cover is noteworthy as it was the first by Roger Dean.

Bill Nelson was (and still is) a hell of a good rock guitarist!
