Are 45rpms worth the price?


Looking at a number of reissue 45rpms (Fleetwood Mac, Doors, Hugh Masakela, etc)from Acoustic Sounds. Most sell for $50 (2 lps). All reviews on AS are glowing. Are these 45rpms really worth the high prices being asked?

I have quite a few of these 45RPM LPS. I think they are worth the price. It is a pain in the ass to have to get up so often to turn them over, but the sound quality is sure worth it for me.
I have probably tripled or quadrupled the amount of 45RPM LPs I have since this thread started over 8 years ago.

I stand even more behind my above comments.  I can't think of a single example of me liking the 33 1/3RPM version better than the 45.

Still a pain, (maybe more so now that I'm getting older) to turn over so often, but the sound...
