Slime Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Which albums, collections, box sets or compilations are so good that you feel any price is worth paying to get them? Think that $30 before tax is a fair price for Dark Side of the Moon? Maybe a Cure album really is worth $22 before tax. Whatever the album is, it better be great to fetch such a high price. Be sure to clarify whether you are using American or Canadian dollars (or something else, I don't mind...I'll just convert the stuff myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuppetKing2112 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 In-print single-or-double disc studio albums are never worth exccessive amounts of money. Even if it's something like The Queen is Dead, or OK Computer, definitely don't pay too much for it. Look for a used copy somewhere, and in the meantime download it. Box sets though, and Deluxe reissues, you could make a case for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The new Crowes release for me; The Lost Sessions. Even though i have them downloaded, i'd pay alot for them in proper packaging, properly remixed and mastered etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fledgehog Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I will not pay more than $20 for a single CD, and even at that I'm still sorta stretching a lot of things -- generally my budget -- to fork over $20 for a CD. I don't think any single CD -- not even a Rush album -- would be worth paying more than that for, unless there was omething special about it (signed by band members, so on and so forth).

floydfanatic111 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The Wall definitely. The same with The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Quadrophenia and many other classic 2-CD studio efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush in Rio and Different Stages were under $20, and they're freaking triple albums. I don't see why Quadrophenia and the Wall have to still be so expensive.

Ultimatelty, what's important is music, and even at 20 dollars, that's a gross mark up for a CD. Let's be honest, I've bought de-luxe "Dog's Bollocks" special edition packs in the past, filed them away and did nothing more than listen to the music.
