Been trying for over two years to find a copy of this on cd. For less than $20...can't find it for less than $100.
This is the highest ranked album on the BEA overall chart that I don't own. By a lot.

I assume you've read up on the history behind this — originally the album was going to be called "Boys Don't Cry," but rumor has it they scrapped that idea when someone pointed out Ocean's almost uncanny resemblance to Robert Smith of The Cure, whose album Boys Don't Cry also featured three palm trees on the cover whose color suspiciously matched Ocean's own hair color. It was therefore necessary to re-do the cover art with Ocean hiding his face (to avoid being mistaken for Smith), as well as a new title specifically chosen to distract fans from the greenness of Ocean's hair at the time.
Admittedly, this is technically more of a "personal theory that I just made up" than an actual "rumor."
