Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$

I can't afford a new $50K car, but I'd enjoy driving a new $16K compact car, or even a like-new, used one!

and this thread only helps to reinforce why i can't afford to get into vinyl. Sure, i could buy an awesome turntable/tonearm/cart and phono pre, but once i had to start buying albums..... :(

There have been many threads at Audiogon where people discuss paying $200.00, $300.00 and more for CD's or SACD's. When a particular piece of software is rare and difficult to find, the price gets inflated.

Don't let the price of one LP discourage you. For every $300.00 LP, there are tens of thousands for .25 cents to five bucks.

I had a look at ebay half a yr. ago. Prices were 60 EUR to 120 EUR for the LP then. So I decided to get the CD to test the music, bought one for 5EUR from ebay. I realized, that I did not like this record so much, so that saved me a lot of money ;-)

Roger Water's militant pacifism can become tiresome. But The Ballad of Bill Hubbard is quite moving. There are some interesting Q-sound effects on this album. Another option is The Columbia gold SBM CD, which sounds pretty good.

i've actually cataloged my cd collection and searched for all the "must have" albums. of the small percentage that are even on vinyl, 90%+ are long oop and prices start around $50-$100 each. i think the actually software would end up cost double what i'm willing to pay for a turntable. until they state re-releasing some of the music on vinyl, i'm just going to have to wait on the sidelines.
