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!

So a few have regularly paid more than $100 for a really desirable album it seems.
I guess it all boils down to how badly you want it if the price IS the normal going rate for that album then.
The Beatles Butcher Block album sold for more than $6,000 on eBay last year. Somebody’s paying something. Sealed Beck Sea Change on Mo Fi, pink vinyl, currently listed for $500. Mo Fi Woodstock, $810.
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:

Having fun with HiFi all over again!
For every buyer there is a seller -- I sold a HiFi Today "Sgt Pepper" to a buyer in Japan for $1200 a few years back

I owned this from new (along with a bunch of other of the Nimbus SuperCuts I still have) but could not turn down that price

Personally most I've paid is $300-400 for original 1st pressing Heron discs, but someone bought me an Island "Pink Moon" for $750 as a work leaving gift!
