How do you justify $125.00 for a new vinyl record

While somebody may find that to be a good deal and will pay it, I just could never ever do that unless I won the lottery big time.
But even then my common sense would likely kick in and prevail.
Not knocking anybody who does pay that at all but it just seems outrageous to my eyes.

You could purchase 2 pounds of Diane St. Clair butter for that (if they weren’t currently sold out).

@dekay I just looked this up. Would be f'ing hilarious if it weren't such a sad indictment of our times.

these are the ultra disc 1 step pressings, not your run of the mill pressing, so if you want the quality , you pay. What would you rather play on your system?

1.87 lbs. of Cougar Gold cheese is $150. Cheese! and you only get to enjoy it once. 

I purchased the Yes Fragile One Step Album. I always liked that record, so I took the plunge, to see how good these records really are. I compared a regular pressing to the One Step and there is a huge difference. Listening to Mood for a day, it sounded as if Steve Howe was playing the guitar in my living room. There is more body and clarity at the same time making me feel the emotion of the performance. Incredible! Then I listened to the regular pressing again and it was a letdown. So is it worth it ? My answer is hell yes. I know they are expensive and I can't buy too many of them, but I'm sorry I didn't buy Santana Abraxas and a couple of the earlier ones because now the prices of them are really high and out of range for me.
