It's difficult for me to justify spending $22 plus shipping on what is essentially an E.P. Even though I want this, I probably won't be regretting not buying this later. Just thinking out loud. Thanks for listening.:blink:

 +1 !

I can't justify $45 for an EP even this one :(

I was thinking the same thing until I heard how great the recording sounds. But did I need the White variant? No. But I'm weak.

What kills me isn' t the sticker price so much as the bullshit shipping cost to Canada. 

But I'm weak.
