I always get a bit mad when I play this album.
I used to have 6 of their first 5 albums on vinyl...thanks to my ex selling my albums before I could get them out of the house when we split up, I no longer do.
And a few of those albums now cost over $200 each if you try to buy the original releases of them.
However, this is the one I didn't have then...and it's a reissue so it was only about $20 (original copies go for $170 or so now).

What makes PJ so special as their albums to have that kind of value?

It's not just them, almost all early/mid 90's vinyl releases are outrageous to purchase now because not many were printed. What ticks me off is I was buying them new for $15 and under back then.

@JohnRoberts Not that I sell much, but I lost a TON of money thanks to my ex. I've always bought vinyl, and I had a lot of the stuff released back then.

@JolietJake That's right. CDs were the standard by them. I wasn't thinking. What an investment that vinyl would be.

I have a friend who’s quite anti-marriage (his marriage must’ve been a doozy for that to have happened), and I mentioned on his post about it that Johnny Russell (country singer/songwriter who wrote “Act Naturally”) used to say about his numerous marriages, “Instead of getting married I should just find a woman I don’t like every ten years and buy her a house.” 
I’m getting dangerously close to 60 now, but if I ever do get married I’d never mess with the record collection if things didn’t work out. I know how much the music means.
