It was released on his own label around the time most people didn't care about him anymore, so the pressing must've been fairly small... Most of the NPG releases (like Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic and Rainbow Children) are pricey these days, it's just the Warner albums (which obviously had much larger pressings) that you can get for cheap. Emancipation is a special case, because it was his first post-Warner release, and he'd still had a big hit the previous year ("The Most Beautiful Girl"), so they must've pressed it a lot more than the albums that followed.
