However much I wanted that very rare LP from 1950 or whenever. I'd find it via legitimate means.
And I've been very good and not even mentioned Nic Jones.

I think you should mention Nic Jones, Ralphie - the scandalous non-availability of at least two of his Leader/Trailer albums, by any means other than borrowing/sharing, is very much to the point here.

Put it another way, what are the "legitimate means" you'd suggest for finding a copy of From the Devil to a stranger?
