Control or Regret?

Today I found myself in HMV in Bath and came across this.
Ian Hunter : Fingers Crossed on 180gm Vinyl with download code for £7.99.

I am really into Ian Hunter at the moment so my initial thought was ‘yes I must have this’ but I then thought…

I have this on CD already!

The CD (ironically) has a gatefold sleeve with a booklet with lyrics etc and sounds great. I have uploaded the CD to my Apple Music library.

The vinyl is a single sleeve with just the track listings on the back. Yes, for a vinyl album it’s cheap but how much would I really play it?

I carried it around the shop for about 20mins and then put it back.

What would you have done?

I would have taken the 7.99 and bought something else for myself.
