Alexc knows what he's talking about.
Franklin Mint can be found almost everyday on eBay at dirt cheap prices. $25/LP only exists in someone's mind. I'd even consider $2.5/Lp too steep since Franklin Mint has little or none collection value unlike the original labels such as Decca, Lyrita, EMI, Mercury and RCA Living Stereo. For $25, in addition to Classic Records Alexc recommended, get the Testment or Speaker Corner reissue of EMI and Decca and you will know what great performance and sound is all about.
