    First pressing of CD. Only saw it on release day in Seattle, then it was gone.

    Rarity.... Didn't they sell almost a million units in the first week. No idea on number, but I would guess way more than 100,000.

    Value... Always sold them for a couple bucks more at used shops back in the day. Do people still buy css?

    I'll dig mine out, and see if its Canadian. I've had two over the years. One I bought the day it came out at Love Music in Redmond, WA the other I picked up cheap years ago when I thought the other was lost.

    Love BIN prices some people come up with on ebay.

    Is this the version you are looking at for $150?

    I found one used at my record store for $3. I think the cooler thing is to find the two different editions of the enclosed booklet. The one with the 'old' elderly woman from a small town, and the other is the 'new and improved' woman.

    I bought mine in a Sam Goody/Musicland 2 years after it came out. Regular price. I didn't think it was rare or anything, I just thought it was the Eco version of the regular CD, just not as common.

    Ya, thats what I was thinking.

    Couldn't understand how someone had one on ebay for that much. Thought maybe he knew something I didn't. haha

    Canada only? I never seen the Eco pack sold here in Halifax the day of release. It was just the regular clear CD case. I've seen many of those Vs Eco Packs sold on Ebay for 20 bucks, mint!
