You can pick up several great albums >like the Hassell/Eno "Possible Musics", the Fripp/Eno collaborations, >the Budd/Eno "Plateaux of Mirrors", and several solo Eno's real cheap. The records in question are overpresses, and are also available in the Ewe-Essay on the cheap. THey're a good buy, but I've had the occasional problem with the quality of the pressing. The Pearl (the last B/E) contains no surprises, but sounds to my ears like a marriage of the "On Land" and "Apollo" textured stuff with a bit less obvious tomfoolery with the actual piano. As such, it sounded on first listen as being a bit less flashy in terms of treatment. On repeated listens, there is a greater sense of subtlety here, and (opine only) more of an insistence on Budd's part that the actual pieces be seen as compositions rather than a sort of synergistic relationship between a treatment scheme and a piece as raw material.
