the most $ you have paid for an album

I don't remember having paid more than 30$ CAN for a record, but it probably happened a couples of times.

the most expensive one I remember is Oldfield's Amarok @ 26$ + taxes CD.

Most of the records I've bought are used, so that i've got very interesting bargains:

i bought the solution - cordon bleu for 0.99$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've got all the good pop music LP's of the 80's (police, simple minds, thompson twins, billy idol, spandau ballet... for a ridiculous 0.99$ each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

my proudest acquisition was the 4 first Fixx albums for 3.96$ (0.99$ each!!!!!!!!!!!)

I remember that the used Zappa's LP were VERY expensive!! it was not rare to see the prices at 20$ for his double albums like them or us or you are what you is.

I clearly remember i have bought pallas - the wedge LP for 18$: it was in 1987!!

I also remember Pete Sinfield's LP at 20$ USED!

also, ramases - space hymns  used LP at 20$

I think Zappa's freak out was past 30$ used LP.

quebec city and montreal were VERY good places in the 80's and 90's to find almost whatever LP you want for ridiculous prices: i was told and believe Plateau Mont Royal was the best place IN THE WORLD to buy & find any LP, especially prog music.

You know this thread can be a real downer

I think $30. I can't remember what though

The most i've seen would be $40 for Zappa's Joe Garage (all three acts) and The Shut Up....series. Haven't had the heart (nor cash) to buy thems yet though. Still looking for them cheaper.

I have the wall live box...it´s a small box containing 2 cds...i paid 100 reais, like 40 dollars

80 euros for queensrcyhe's operation mindcrime Pic Lp 8 years ago.....in today's prices it's about 120 euros i suppose.

Also I bought Led Zep's complete studio recordings box for$125. Expensive, worth it It's $20 at Costco? Awesome. I've been putting off buying that album for a long time now because it's so expensive everywhere else.

I only saw it there once. It mysterically disappeared...

the most I did was $15 or so.  I get mine on ebay, hopefully I won't pay $1,200 for one but I just got Day for Night by Spock's Beard for $0.88 and Fugazi and Clutching at Straws by Marillion for a total of $12 or so

Borealis wrote: Lift your skinny fist like antenna to heaven by Godspeed costed about 40$, and every single of them were worth spending.  I almost bought Anglagard Hybris for 45$ (cheapest I found, very rare CD), but I finnaly changed mind...

Wow. I found it for 15$. (The Godspeed one)

About £18 i think. Far too expensive. Wasn't even a double album. *NEVER SHOP AT VIRGIN UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY*

Ulver's new album that was just released this past week is already expensive...well, their velvet limited edition version that is.  It went on sale on ebay for $102.50   I really want the limited edition too  I'll just have to settle for the regular version...
