    Aaaachem!

    I wish they'd post the track list to the rarities record. Cannot fathom spending this much on records I would listen to occasionally at most.

    Apparently a lot of people because they sold out of the 27 $1,500 test press editions already

    i’ve been meaning to tell you

    I kinda want this for the packaging alone but not for $300. Loved Weird Al back in the day but can't see myself spinning this now. Awesome idea though.

    It's chaos. Be kind. Prestigious

    $300 is totally a fair price and all for 14 LPs, given the packaging and the notes. Weird Al's one of those artists though whose releases are really hit or miss. If I bought this, I'd listen to some albums waaaay more than others.
