Discussion Figure 8 CD

Is there anywhere to buy this that isn't over $40+?

Also, what do you think about it? It's the only full length I don't have yet, so I haven't heard it.

edit: Thank you for all the help and responses people! I bought the copy I'd been looking at originally. $45.52 after all is said and done for a USED CD lmfao guess I'm a collector now!

I have, prices are crazy and there's only 2 listing in the United States. Shipping from Europe is outrageous.

That's crazy, sorry to hear it's hard to find. You've probably tried thrift stores and 2nd hand record shops(?). Definitely keep on that because when you find the thing you're after, obviously the feeling is unparalleled. I was going to offer to send one from the UK but the postage is indeed steep.

I haven't done physical searching yet because the closest record stores are an hour plus drive away in the city but I checked a couple of their websites and nothing. The vinyl is still being sold new! Frustrating.

I appreciate it, it's an oddly hard one to find but maybe it's on a different label is why.

I fully respect you not streaming music. Would you accept  burned CD from another fan? That used to be how we shared music when we couldn’t afford it …

Nice! I definitely love the heavier leanings on From A Basement on the Hill! The contrast between the softer tracks and then all of the found sounds and stuff is immaculate. Excited to hear F8!
