By comparison with a standard LP it's expensive but I've just spent £22 on a takeaway for me and my son. It's all gone, wasn't particularly good but we ate it because we were hungry. There's nothing to show for it so spending a few extra quid on music that you can listen to as much as you like is worth it if it's likely a limited edition and not going to be available forever. However, the shipping blows the purchase out of the water so this time I won't be buying.
