When you look around at the average prices of Vinyl available, $20 for an LP is cheap by any standard. Vinyl is by far and large expensive, now.
Recently there were several sales at Walmart at $10-13 for vinyl in Classic Rock category - this's cheap. For Pink Floyd specifically - there was a deal for Wish You Were Here for $20.
Phonograph cylinders are the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound. There wax cylinder could only store one song at a time, unlike later vinyl records which could store whole albums.
Why would Walmart be any different then anyone else? It has the same sku as one that you would buy from record store. If it's a bad edited and pressed album, they will be bad everywhere.. that's how its always been.. there must be 30 pressings of this album and some are better then others. You probably can Google that question. Lots of albums now are being edited to have more bass for the younger generation.
Walmart actually has exclusive versions of some albums. This isn't one of those though, far as I can tell.

$23 - not cheap at all.
So, $20 is cheap... and $23 is not cheap at all. Got it.

No, $20 or $23 is not cheap for an LP recorder from a digital source. You are better off buying a CD for a fraction of that, it will sound better and will last longer.
As one of the posters explained earlier to get true analogue recording you will have to buy a version which will cost you hundreds of dollars. This Walmart imitation is not it.
This vinyl resurgence boggles my mind. I have an 18 and 15-year-old spending $20 - $40 on a single album.
I would never have paid that kind of money on any album in any format. It's nuts.
Me too. I just don't get why anyone would want to go back to vinyl. I love picking up old audio equipment and speakers but have zero urge to go back to a turntable or cassette deck.

Well, count me in for the albums. You, new people, call them vinyl. I NEVER stop playing albums and 45 rpm records on my Technics and Dual turntables. Do you throw the albums away after buying them for 55 years? If you can't hear the difference between analog and digital sound, then stick with whatever you like. I am in for both of them. Cassette tapes were much better than 8-track tapes but still had lower fidelity.

I'm 57 and did pitch my record album and cassette collection a few years after CDs came around. Still have my huge CD collection but don't plan on getting rid of that anytime soon. Always been into high-end home and car audio but just never had the urge to go back to records. I'm definitely not the nostalgic type.

Digital vs analog …if you cannot hear the difference, just stick with what ever works for you.
This is the 2016 remaster, it was mastered from a digital file as opposed to an all analogue cut. The last analogue pressing was the 30th anniversary from 2003. That record goes for around a couple hundred dollars now and if you want a near mint 1st pressing from the UK you are going to spend about a couple grand. While not as good as either of those versions this is still a great sounding record. It is well made (many new records are basically defective from factory QA) and comes with 2 posters/2 stickers inside. The part on Walmart's website that states "CD" is a misprint since everything else points to it being a vinyl record. Also, the 180 gram weight doesn't affect sound at all and is basically just a sales tagline.
