What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ?

Do CD’S count? I have one that is very rare and is 24k gold release by the Jazz band "Wounderful Sound of Three Blind Mice" I saw one on eBay for $300

CDs don't count, this is analog thread.

Venus 30 th aniversary LP and SAcd . Close to $800 I think.

$169. For Christmas 2019 my wife bought me DSOM ($40) and a blue tooth turntable ($129) to connect to my Yamaha AVR.

It was the only record we owned. Last time I owned one was 40 years prior.

I played it once and found the courage to tell her I could not destroy that record with that turntable.

Latest tally that decision ended up costing us around $100K.

Does that count?

The most expensive record I ever purchased is obviously the first one, "Hot Rod Lincoln" at about $1.00! But that has sent me into this wonderful, beautiful world of music. I have no idea how much I've spent over the years, but it's been worth every penny.
