oh yeah. pre-plastic-bottles. sheeeit. but 5-dollar LP is a good barometer. How much did ordering, say, a large pepperoni pizza cost?

still, wow. 3 albums / oz. If you assume that an album now is two to three times that, give or take, that SHOULD mean that it should be thirty to fifty bucks an o nowadays. daaaamn.

edit: that is to say, i think the price of music is an important barometer there. the VALUE, not just the COST, of gas or stamps or cars has changed a lot more than the VALUE of music has. To be fair, I think the price of music is probably growing UNDER the rate of inflation as it gets more competitive - hell, vinyl costs up to $40 or $50 new nowadays sometimes - but still. the idea of getting an o for the price of three records blows my mind. 'specially since I downloaded probably ten albums this morning...
