Well...I'd say £70 may be the going rate (though perhaps a little on the high side), but whether it's worth it is a different matter.
There are some people who own the album without knowing that its special, and those are the people who will give the record to their local charity shop or jumble sale when they decide to cut down their record collection. It might sound unlikely, but I know people who've bought copies of the original Platinum in that way, for not much more than Holger paid for his later edition.
It depends on how much you want it...£70 and have it now (or as soon as you can afford it), or search around and get it for £3, but risk facing a long search and possibly never finding it at that price at all. So whether it's worth £70 is really up to you.
As an investment...at the moment it still has a value amongst collectors, and that's probably not likely to fall significantly for a while, but of course as with all investments, unforseen things can happen to change that. If you're looking to sell it on for a profit at some point in the future, the best returns are undoubtedly going to be on a copy bought for a really low price...but like I say, good luck in finding one.
