Nature of the beast, I'm afraid.  Nobody wants cassettes, even if they are of an infamously rare album.  The price always seems to be low if you find in an on-line record store (the same can be said for the "Uptight" Indisc CD single, too) ... the trick is to find it in the first place!

I notice that a recent ebay boot CD of 1987 included some of the artwork from the cassette version: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4770281732 (the JAMs symbol sideways in the "1987" logo is directly taken from the cassette).

I wonder why a cassette was issued?  The KLF were never keen on the format - unless it was as a promo ("Who Killed the JAMs" or TWROST), an import ("History of" and "Chill Out") or as a pop single format.
