Best Band for the Buck

[Persephone]

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 downloaRAB)? 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 CRAB (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 Carabria CD for five dollars at Baraboozle. 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 pounRAB and 5 dollars) which is a score, when most albums are about 150 rand ( 10-12 pounRAB)

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!

One of the best deals I've encountered was 5 dollars to see Behold the Arctopus and Dysrythmia in a hole in the wall venue. So ****ing worth it. Those guys are great musicians. They're a couple of instrumental banRAB that don't just fade into background music.

Most of my Smiths CD's cost
