8K for a one-time listen?

As someone who can appreciate the potential value of $20K speaker wires in an appropriate system, this is over the top, even for me.  Devialet is issuing recordings on actual lacquer for $7900, but the kicker is - they can only be listened to ONCE.  And the lacquer wears away.  All I can say is - Actually, I have nothing to say.  
Here it is in case you wish to indulge.

Hire your own band, instead. Or, buy out Devialet and have them do your bidding.

Hiring band is actually great idea. Lots of even famous ones can be hired at fraction of asking price of Devialet wax recordings.

Considering number of songs per recording, it would be even cheaper to hire Dead Can Dance band.

As the years have passed, I personally have turned to value in my quest for audio excellence. I too have chuckled at many seemingly absurd cost vs performance or lack there of products.
But with that being said, there are people indulging in the quest for seemingly great wines for that special meal as well.

Yikes, I should have read the website before leaving my opinion. 
Obviously they are promoting their wares with that same angle.
Lesson learned for me.

I am waiting for a matching record player that will self destruct as soon as this record stops after playing the entire record. Always believed in system synergy.
