I'd probably say it's worth $25 but ultimately it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The problem is that it has been reissued multiple times on CD and vinyl. I believe it's also available for download as well. '78's are for the completist only and hence don't appeal to many collectors unless it doesn't exist in any other format. The "cool" factor about this set is that it features the theremin and was touted as having the first four-color record cover! Still a nice find and welcome to TC. Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
