Or you could try this site

Gemm Record Brokers

where you should be able to pick up a used copy for anything between US$3 -> US$20.

I have an english copy, OK quality, there's about 30 minutes of music per side on this record.

Since I see the above post references cost in US dollars, I'll chime in and say "Desire", like all of Dylan's 70s work, is very easy to come across in the States. $20.00 would be overpriced for sure. I wouldn't pay more than $10.00.

$10 is high in my view. I loved this album, I still think it's good, but it's a bit trite at times. I'm thinking particularly of "Joey", and bits of "Hurricane". Mind you, if I'd have tried to write those songs they woouldn't have stood up to the test of time 5 minutes later

i used this album (desire) in one of my early auditions of the lp12 around the 80's and i will not forget how this record was xformed compared to playing it on technics sl17

so it has a special place in my collection, hence wanting to replace with a new copy. highway 61 is same, but i found a 180g re-press a few months ago (on columbia)
