It does make sense that with double the vinyl and more packing they typically cost more. But then again, as someone buying from Canada, it's the shipping prices that overshadows the price of the records themselves anymore. The rise in shipping has really resulted in me cutting back on pre-orders and online purchases direct from bands/labels. I rely on having to buy it at a show, a local store or Amazon unless I really want it.
Is it? ;D I see people mentioning it as a favorite, and I personally love it too! Not bad for a b-side ;D
