it's not to me. i think i paid $15 for copy #1939/5000 (they're hand numbered) in NM off of ebay. Mosaic has built "collector mania" into their LP releases by virtue of limiting the number of copies. it's really only worth that to collectors. _d

That's true, but I don't necessarily purchase only albums that aren't available on CD - to me that's just a bonus - just like I don't just buy music that's danceable.

Or were you just responding to the original question? _d

ok, so you spent $50 on an LP with songs that you can get on inexpensive CDs?

Ok... :?
