I try not to get hung up on shipping charges. Public transport or putting gas in your car and paying for parking to go to the record store also costs way more than it used to.
When I started collecting jazz I could use public transport for free 24/7 as a student, so I could easily travel to both Amsterdam and The Hague.

I hope that referee chokes on his next meal. Enough of that.

I've never heard Knowledge of Self.
I listened to the whole of The Believer on YouTube, and I feel it is not as great as Somalia, Soran-Bushi, B.H. and Soul of an Angel. I added a Capra Black Japanese mini-LP to my collection instead.
Braxton has still got it. His latest solo album Solo (Victoriaville) 2017 sits proudly alongside previous efforts. Some of the Diamond Curtain Wall Music recordings are also worth considering. The best are probably Trio (Victoriaville) 2007 & Quartet (Mestre) 2008.
The Japanese DSD remaster from 2008 finally fixed the gurgling cymbals sound from the OJC CD enough to make the album listenable for me. Love it now.
Now playing:
Disc 1.
There is a sealed copy of The Believer Japanese mini-LP up for auction at eBay. Bidding starts at $39.99. Ends in about 28 hours:
