The Joy of a $5 Record

I was listening to this record over the last day or so and I was quite enjoying it, for what might seem like an odd reason. Basically, it was dirt cheap. And when I am listening to a record that only cost me five or ten dollars, then I don't really have to enjoy it that much for it to feel like a win.

Conversely, I sometimes feel a bit let down by a $70 record (not that I own many of these) because I am just expecting a lot from them, perhaps too much.
