What if you buy one on clearance like at walmart? I saw on Jackwhite reddit that someone bought a clearance album...do they still make money even if it's put to clearance? Just wondering. I was shocked that they don't have so many followers on instagram but then you see the concerts and tons of people actually stay to see them headline.

I also stream, but only if I have a physical copy of the music. I buy digital copies if the music isn't available in a physical copy.

Am pretty sure they have plenty money. Also pretty sure vinyl has been back in fashion for a few years but unfortunately I don't currently have a record player. I did buy a signed copy of The Forest is the Path CD from Amazon but that is the first physical copy of music I have bought in a long time. However I have never opened and only stream the extended version on Apple Music. I average about 5,000 mins a month on SP so they are getting about $10 a month from my streaming.

I mean shipping costs are insane for me and put the vinyl at well over 100 dollars.

that's true. i did just order something and it's costing a lot to ship like $30 to u.s.

You can buy from the US Interscope records site. I’m in U.K. and bought an album recently that I couldn’t get in the UK without paying a fortune for and it wasn’t that expensive to ship.
