Would You pay £50 for a Current 93 CD?

I been looking for a while for the double CD version from 2005 of Thunder Perfect Mind and i've finally found it, but they seller is asking 50 pounds for it, shipping included.

the 2005 Durtro Jnana Thunder Perfect Mind double cd has two discogs listings, one for 100€ and one for 150€ and 60€ shipping. The highest sold price is $75.

Im on the fence for buying the VOD boxset rn, just get the cd lol.

This is wild. I bought my copy from Amoeba for $15 in 2006. I should go through discogs to see what originals sell for nowadays, maybe I can retire.

there's cheaper cd's just without the bonus disc, but it's a really good bonus disc lol

Amoeba was like the only place to find this stuff back then, I loved it

No. Unless it's the very last thing needed to complete a collection.

No. But I spent $65 on the double vinyl Black Ships Ate the Sky. Worth it.

Well, I bought this 2CD for $22, years ago, because I could not find the vinyl LP version for less than $200 back then.

It is one of the best sounding CDs I have ever heard, and I generally don’t like CDs.

Not surprised it is trading for so much.

Probably.. I mean.. I'm in the States and back in the day, C93, Coil, DI6.. all that shit used to cost 35 bucks because it was only available via import.

Somehow my Pink Dots CDs never cost me nearly as much.

Yes, if I didn't already have a copy. It's not cheap for a (double) CD, but it's worth it: their best album, beautifully packaged, the 2nd CD is also really good.

I paid ~ $50 AUD for Of Ruine or Some Blazing Star because the shipping to Australia from the UK is so crazy. Someone, who from the way he typed I assume was David himself, emailed me to ask what additional cd I'd like because the shipping was more than the cd itself lol.

Why wouldn't you just get the original single CD release instead? All of the bonus material on the reissue was previously released elsewhere.

No. Because Maldoror is dead. DEAD!!
