It is nice to know that had I not had all my tapes stolen I would have had a lot more than $200-worth of tapes in that case, since Queen tapes are so pricey on the used music market now. I do miss all the pictures in the album cover that are not in the CD jackets. And Europe! I can't imagine paying more than $10 for a used rock CD, but the cheapest I could find on Amazon for Wings of Tomorrow was over $30. Same for Europe, their first album under their bandname. This of course sucks since their first album was my favorite.
Somehow or another, albums from the Penguin Cafe Orchestra are either rare and expensive, or quite cheap. This is another where a new album might run $70, but other albums I actually ordered at around $5. Does this money return to the artists? We must hope some of it does.
I am liking the personalization on Amazon. I no longer have to do anything special to find albums by Roger Taylor, Brian May, or Queen, as they pop up on their own. Very handy since I am now on to solo albums, except for those 4 remaining Queen albums. I am still hoping for a cheaper copy of Sheer Heart Attack, especially since I got a cheaper copy of Hot Space finally.
