Even if she got them on sale for $3.99, thats $20 and change a pop.

That was a lot of money for a waitress. I'm guessing she may have went to a record store that still had listening booths and did her homework there.

Edit: we're looking at upwards of $180-200.00 in '74 dollars / 1k-ish in 2018
She probably bought Kiln House through HAHTF, since Richard and Lindsey already had TPO.
