I think I'd never pay 50 quid for a record.
I'm an individualist - it works for me cos it's so impregnated with myself when I hear it. I use records as meditational tools often during outdoor exploration. I never play music while at work or washing the dishes. They sort of play themselves when they need to be played. It's like, say, visiting Callanish after being sick in the car or while hearing your grandma babble on the mobile phone. Next time you approach it under different conditions and you love it.
And recommendations are always personal, although they help you get the 'idea' of where the record is coming from and where it fits in the rock universe.
I would definitely loathe it if I hated the German language!
