Best Band for the Buck
 

Given the state of the economy, I thought this might be a good question: what was the best deal you've gotten on a music purchase (excluding giveaways and downloads)? I don't mean just the lowest price, but the price to quality ratio, so to speak.

Earlier this year I bought all of the Doors CDs (I already had the vinyls but wanted to rip them to my PC.) from Amazon.com for just 1 cent each, plus $2.98 shipping and handling each.

If you're going to pay one cent for an album, why the hell not just download it for free?

I got a Coheed and Cambria CD for five dollars at Bamboozle. I thought it would be an old EP with 5 tracks or something... It's a 13-track album. [=

Can pick up most of the classic reggae/jazz albums for 40 rand (Equivalent of like 2-3 pounds and 5 dollars) which is a score, when most albums are about 150 rand ( 10-12 pounds)

Examples :

Miles Davis
Peter Tosh
Steel Pulse
Thelonius Monk
Charles Mingus
Loius Armstrong
Gregory Isaacs
ect...

Free music that is good is pretty brilliant value for money if you ask me.

Just downloaded the complete Beatles Discography for free. Talk about score!

I think most of this forum download albums for free rather than buying the CD..

I spent over 100 dollars on ITunes this week alone. But sometimes I do the torrent thing.

Nice! I wish I had that much money to spend on music...

I usually go out and buy the actual CD. I like to have something tangible. I'm old school.

Is it true that the price of iTunes songs went up?
