- Condition: Heavily impacts price—e.g., VG with minor wear lists at $4.99 USD, while Good (G) with more wear is $5 USD. Near Mint (NM) could fetch 2x more (AUD 20+), though none listed.
- Format/Edition: Primarily used LPs (reissues on MCA/ABC Blue Thumb); original 1970s pressings or promos may command premiums not seen here.
- Media vs. Sleeve: Separate grading (e.g., VG vinyl/sleeve) noted; defects like ring wear lower value.
- Market & Rarity: Common jazz-funk title keeps prices low; no high-end auctions or sealed copies in results. CD versions exist but are separate (used, unspecified USD price).
- Location/Currency: US listings dominate; AUD prices stable but fluctuate with USD/AUD rate and local demand.
