I remembered the price of that one particular album because there was no way I could afford it. I was 13 and got an allowance of $1.25 a week. By the time I bought my Mad magazine and the latest single by someone (singles were just 67 cents!), I had no money left.

My little cousin ended up getting me the album for Christmas (actually my aunt, of course), and it was the best gift I got that year, for sure. I still have the original, although it's so scratchy it's unplayable. Doesn't matter though.
