You beat me to it. The Rertospective Records website itself says the following;
"..........no more trying to outbid someone else on EBAY for the rare and collectable hard rock titles you want in your collection."
$50 for the Friction release is way too pricey. Sure, it used to go for over $500 on Ebay. However, to give it a 'legitimate' release and slug the very listeners it's supposed to cater to $50 a pop smacks of mere profiteering. How can this price be justified, given that the cost to produce this disc would be the same as any other release in their catalog?
Get it out there at a decent price, and you'll get a lot more people buying it (and get yourself some good PR in the process).
