What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl?


Just curious how much some members might have spent on an album?
So to qualify I mean a regular single/double album not a box set.

I am wondering as I have just one album to buy to complete a collection but I am baulking at the high price tag.

Maybe if I get some perspective it might not seem so bad!

Hope I am not going to set a record here? I paid $650 for sealed copies of MFSL ultra disc one-step (UD1S) recording of Santana Abraxas and Donald Fagen Nightfly, purchased as a package on eBay. If fact I have all 4 MFSL UD1S disc (above plus Bill Evan Sunday at the Village Vanguard Live and Simon & Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water). As far as vinyl pressings go they all sound about as good as it is going to get IMHO. For example; listening to the Bill Evans recording I honestly thought I was  listening to live music. I could not believe this recording is 56 years old. Background noise was non existent. Dynamic range, frequency response etc. was as good as anything I have ever heard.

I got back into vinyl (after a 34 year absence) at the beginning of last year, see my previous post on the subject:
