...sucking their dicks.
I'm talking about the price of new, reissue vinyl. But also inflation and the consumer in general.
At what point will you draw the line.
Gas - its two dollah a litre here. (What is it in Blighty?) . At which juncture will you tell the car to fuck off and get on your bike in serious protest.
Flour - do you EVEN protest by baking your own bread, making your own cookies? When basic flour hits $20 a bag, wot you gonner do then?
Vinyl - that linkiepoo I posted where the guy goes on about inflation effecting the price of new vinyl - how "Abbey Road" at the price of $30 , now jumped to $40.
Where does it stop? More importantly , where do YOU say NO!
That guy did make a good point towards the end: that once a precedence is set, the price will not subside.
Well, unlike flour, vinyl is a luxury and it doesn't take, in comparison, much will-power to say "Fuck it! No more.". But alienlifeform virtually LIVE on gasoline - they willingly put the funnel to their fucking mouths. Is there a limit to them? Or do they, in the sorry end of days, not care at all for criminals to justify $100 a litre.

I personally dont think LP's are bad priced. £22-26. However Buying 1st issue at £500 compared to a re-issue is cheap. tbh i dont mind what they charge as long as they are made to quality standards.
£1.86 per Litre we paid this morning for unleaded, the same pump had Diesel at £2.05 per litre.
Flour expensive! never noticed, only thing i use plain flour for is Yorkshire Pudding once in a blue moon.

What’s the most anyone here has paid for a record? Only about £40 for a new double AFAIC. I can’t recall paying more.

I'm sorry to admit that I've hit the £200+ mark a number of times for some really obscure titles, the last time being over 5 years ago.
New issues at £25 plus are crazy, especially as we all know that they're digital transfers and you'd be far better placed with getting the CD. I guess the 'need to possess' is an overwhelming driver, but if you can resist the temptation you're just as well to listen via streaming services, especially if it's in Hi Res. My buying habits have definitely changed during the past year, and I can name at least a dozen titles that I would have previously bought but now access this way.

I've paid around £175 for some specialist reissues but they are worth more in a few weeks when they are sold out. £30 for a standard double LP should be the limit. If labels charge more they are milking it. Thing is, in late 80s LPs were relatively cheap (usually £5.99 to a CD at £13). I'm sure DSJR was buying the expensive CDs back then. So vinyl does look expensive to some people, but it is no more expensive than it was in the 60s. I'm worried it might go up a lot in the near future but the big price rises seem to apply to a limited number of titles which I already have or not in the market for. The answer is to buy fewer LPs and that is more likely the result of other things going up such as food and energy.

The need to possess is only people that buy Picture Discs when they have the LP already  .. I got shut of my CD player. Never again will i entertain CD so Digital Transfers or not it has to be Vinyl. Like ive said before they take the time to make a really good job at Re-issuing an LP especially the sleeve quality id be happy to pay £30 an LP. £39 was the most expensive new LP. |
