A lot of us who buy vinyl paid about $21 for 5 Joanna Newsom songs, but that’s because the record was a double disc deal and each song averaged at 13 minutes. InSound is selling the three-track 12″ Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band for $13.99 + shipping. Other Music’s got a slightly better deal at $10.99 (+ shipping if you buy online). We’ll have to head to the physical store and investigage the worthiness of this purchase. Speaking of Other Music, it has just fully launched its digital store.

In the meantime, the Sound Fix Records website has been down for a few days now. That must be investigaged too.

    the Ys street band ep was a bit of a rip off, £9.95 in HMV for 3 songs, only one of which is new. However, I paid it gladly as I felt guilty for downloading Ys and never buying the actual cd.
