Man, I didn't realize setups could get so expensive. Any advice for someone on a budget?

It really depends on the budget. It's crazy how fast you can end up spending way too much though. Would you need to get an entire set up or just a turntable and stylus to add to an existing system?

I pre-ordered the Ghost - Year Zero vinyl a few days ago. It was limited to 1500 copies and I'll have one of em. Cover is pretty sweet, too.

That's rad. I love getting in on limited pressings! I only have a few that are rare/limited but they're still cool to own.

Didthey do aanything special for the limited run? Many times they'll do something like colored vinyl or something.

Which reminds me, I was initially bummed when I opened the Crowes boxed set to find regular sleeves and nothing special, then I looked at the LPs themselves. They're all kind of tie dye in black and white. Really trippy. I'll post a pic later when I get the chance.
