I bought my first 45 in 1963 (Little Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips" on Tamla — 98c at the A&P!), but only really began seriously collecting records since 1967.
I have a wide range of collecting interests ... have a look at my lists: 45cat / 45worlds.
$19.95 (plus ST) in 1990, or, for me, two months' record budget blown all at once. But it was Kate Bush, on Laser Disc, and I didn't expect ever to see another copy. Prob'ly not that many 8" Laser Discs made, FTM.
My copy is missing any/all printed matter that might originally have come with, but for $1.99, I wasn't going to quibble. What you see is what I got. Excellent performances BTW.
<edit>Acc. to worldcat.org, this concert was originally broadcast as a PBS television program, Great Performances, Nov. 30, 2005.
