Likewise a Max Richter double LP that I would've paid no more than $35 for when I bought it is now $72! They literally must just have doubled the price of everything once they noticed vinyl becoming more and more popular.
I managed to snag one jazz album today for $22 but only because it had found its way into the regular rock/pop section and must've been missed in their price hike.

Every business run by Sunrise Records’ parent company is basically synonymous with shady/manipulative pricing practices.
