I get a kick out of people complaining about $30 records. Is a car the same price as it was in the 70's? $7.99 for an LP is long gone, and the fact that there are places on the web where you can still get a new record for $10 is amazing at the least.Sure, I'd like all reissues to be $10, but as long as I'm wishing, I sould like to buy a new Chebby for $4800. The people who moan about $30 records should check to see if GM makes ANY cars for the price they were in, say, 1970!
And believe me...for me, $30 IS a lot of money (Hell, that's almost as much as a Chinese take-out meal for 4). But back when I was in college, (for the 2nd time...or was that the thrird?), $7.99 was a lot of money, too! I just realized...$7.99 is about the price of 1 dish at the Chinese take-out down the road!
Damn...I'm hungry!
****
If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
