It’s $43.00 with shipping. It was $42.99 + tax at my local record store—kind of pricey so it better be damn good. Heard a Kim Gordon track and I have to say that I’m sick of KG. I just want to hear the Thurston/Lee tracks.
Most record stores seem to be pricing this at around $45 so I don’t think you are getting much of a break by going through Matador mailorder. If you have a local store that can order it for you, I would recommend that avenue. Gotta support those guys.
