Sometimes I think you have too much money


You gotta be kidding! LOL

Speaking of expensive albums, your sig cost me $30. Burzum's finest IMO.

I bought it around February last year, I didn't know it was going to be re-released.  It's still selling for a ton of money on amazon right now, the lowest price now is $95 and the highest is $200.  But I don't regret buying it.

Either Sky's "Great Balloon Race" on CD (been out of print since the 80's!), Achim Reichel and Machines' "Autovision" original Zebra label LP, or something else, i think they were around 50 bucks a piece...but when you are a fan you just have to have them, or at least I do.

The most I've spent on an individual album is £20 for the limited edition blue marbled vinyl version of No Man's Speak and it was worth every penny, although I will admit that the triple LP version of Returning Jesus by No Man is very tempting.

I've also paid £25 for a box set of all the 70's Black Sabbath albums, again it was worth every penny.

Anyway, I mostly buy rather cheap albums and the most expensive one is a 2-CD box of Ray Wilson ("Change" + "The Next Best Thing") for 59 PLN (the price of a single album)
