Thanks all, that's helpful - I guess I'll just wait for it to arrive, found a decent price in supposedly good condition, but I had to look across the Atlantic to do so!

I've also heard a range of sad and unsettling stories about PK's practice as regards seemingly unscrupulous annexation of rights and and also releasing recordings without consent of the musicians involved. He undoubtedly made a big contribution in terms of collecting and recording, but if even half the accusations have substance then the professional ethics (or lack thereof) is troubling and a 'what not to do' map for those doing fieldwork today.
