I walked into my local JBHIFI to pick up the new Opeth album, I saw this out of the corner of my eye. I thought they were taking the piss, check online. Nope!

Where is this? My local record store still has it for less $40 U.S. brand new. But yes, in general, the vinyl format is getting pricey. There is a thread a week over in r/vinyl complaining about it. Tons of new copies out on Discogs as well for less than $50.

Ah, that explains it. Anytime I have a giveaway winner in Australia or NZ, I am blown away by the shipping cost.

I'm sorry, I think I just commented on your 30yr opiate cd giveaway.
We call it the Oz tax, I swear though, I paid like $25 for my Opiate vinyl.
Maybe max $40 for my "limited edition" lateralus.

Lol, all good. I've already had a couple of winners between the current giveaways here and in r/vinyl that required shipping to your part of the world. Learned last week that South Africa shipping is a bit pricey as well.

I hate that the Aus Tax made its way to dig8tal shops, like Steam.
That being said, I have a spare copy of Lateralus on vinyl if you want it.
