An original vinyl copy of Harmonium's debut is the most expensive album I have bought so far. It cost me 375 SEK, which is about $ 54.

Sometimes I think you have too much money


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)

Led Zeppelin's complete studio recordings box cost $120, but that's 9 albums

The Wall - $30... wasn't worth a single one of them

Cluster II - $25... was worth every single one of them

3 Burzum albums for $20 each... totally worth it as well.

Per Un Amico... $20 masterliness.

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.

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.
