I figure that's about what a CD used to cost back in the day, adjusted for inflation. We were paying $16 for a CD back in the early 90's. Records are probably more expensive to make, and often have really cool artwork as inserts. There's the thrift store too though. About half of my record collection are original presses that I got from the thrift store for twenty five cents each. They don't sound as good, but they're pretty neat. Sometimes I buy a record at the thrift store just because it has cool artwork, like the Chicago album that has pressed engraving artwork, like dollar bills.

Edit: wow, CDs actually cost more back then adjusted for inflation. $36.12 in 1992.

Adjusted for inflation, maybe. But records used to be cheaper than CDs.
