Re: Talk about price gouging.



Steve

I admire your restraint!  To call those prices outrageous is kind.

Combine those prices with statements like "hard to find" when you can stuff so easily is criminal.

Von,

eil.com has some of the most outrageous prices going for LPs. You can find decent copies of ITTOD all over the place for low prices. I'd highly recommend the Classic Records 200g reissue. It comes with the original artwork as well as a booklet containing all the six versions of the cover (for those who do not know, ITTOD came in a brown paper bag but the record cover inside of it could be one of six versions, all photographs taken from the viewpoint of people you see in the other versions. Plus the original inner sleeve would turn different colors if it came into contact with water. I haven't tested the Classic for this).

The sound on the Classic is right up there with their work and is similar to PG.

I know those of you who sub to eil.com have gotten this, but seriously, I bought this exact same album, and I bought mine as a MINT Factory sealed copy around 1996 or so, and paid a whopping $20 US Dollars for it. (for all I knew, that was overpriced too) And they claim it's VERY HARD TO FIND...that's not been my experience, however It's not like I've been looking for another sealed copy, but US $147.75...ouch. I know they are usually overpriced anyway, but this one is just damn ridiculous. Unless there's something extra special about this one, that I'm not quite understanding??
Mine has the same numbers on it, still sealed etc..I just don't get  it..
