apparently, you CAN buy a thrill
i'm on the fence ...i really, really dislike the 2x45 format. getting up three times to flip/change the disc is just such a buzz kill.
to be honest, i would probably pay the same ridiculous amount for a "tone poet" equivalent release: 33rpm on regular vinyl, BG mastering, QRP/RTI pressing and stoughton tip-on jacket.
otoh, such a big steely dan fan that i may eventually succumb and get the UHQRs
