Oye, Cacho! It was so expensive because it came from outer space? LOL


oh! That's why! Somebody could have told me..

Though I bought in Peru, not in my place. Ivan, your CD shops rock!..though pittily they're all imported
 
A space object landed somewhere in the Pampas (in a Fireball) and young cacho, bemused by his youthful curiosity , couldn't resist opening the core . The Prog bug from Cygnus-X penetrated his body via the lungs and he has been a proghead ever since, unbeknownst to him infected for life . LOL
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Now we can tease him forever , things like Cacho the Andromeda Strain's  latest victim. Or Cacho the X-Filer !LOL or ET Cacho. Darn I could go on here for a while. It also may explain his Supertramp fixation LOL

Its funny how you mention "expensive" .Because If i were American or European , I would be glad with the low prices you pay for your records and the variety you have to buy!!!
 
My most expensive choices were:
 
Quadrophenia (digipack) $ 120 (U$$ 40)
Welcome back my friends...$ 77 (U$$ 23)
A hard days night $ 60 ( U$$ 18)
In the land of grey and pink (U$$ 15)
 
Considering my income is not in  US dollars those were quite expensive.

Most expensive albums i've bought:

Symphony X - The Odyssey ($26. It's a pretty good album, but not sure if it's worth that much)
Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo ($26. AWESOME ALBUM!!! Worth it, but i wish it was cheaper)
Focus - Hamburger Concerto ($21. AWESOME ALBUM!!! Worth every penny)
Kebnekaise - III (Vinyl, $19,50. I guess it was worth it, but it feels sour when i see it go for lower prices on the internet)
