Some of us Have to Stick With the WAV Files for Now 💔
Just found out that few Record Stores launched the new reissues of Grief Pedigree and HKTS, and they’re $300 each before shipping, which brings the total to almost $700. As a superfan, so many fans really want to support this, but many can’t afford that right now, it’s almost two-thirds of my rent.
I completely understand and support the decision, and I know resellers have unfortunately ruined the vinyl market for a lot of us. I’d much rather see that money go to KA’s family than to resellers. But $700 for two albums is simply unaffordable for many right now. Everything is getting more expensive, and it’s getting harder to justify spending that much on vinyl.
I guess some of us will just stick with the WAV files for now and hope that, someday, there’ll be an affordable box set or another option for longtime, loyal fans like us.
Rest in peace, King. 🖤
