Would you pay £12 - £20

for a vinyl album from Tescos?

Think I'd rather go preloved or charity shop and enjoy the bargain hunting experience than pay that much at Tesco.

Some new music is released in Lp format, (don't know how much they go for) so it wouldn't be pre-loved items for sale in Tesco.
I remember when all music was LP

"Preloved". You twat.

Crikey, I remember when you had a choice between 33, 45 and 78 rpm.

Vinyl definitely has a warmer sound, but I have absolutely nothing to play it on any more.

Preloved is the new second hand

I saw an American advert for 'pre-cherished' cars once. I almost vomited.

I don't remember the 78, the 33 and 45 yes, I do.
Much prefer the modern mp3 or 4 in the cloud remember when moving flat was a nightmare with all the LPs and the books, omg, the books!
Still have lots, but getting slowly replaced by ebooks.

Preloaded is the website where I found my stolen camera being sold.

In other news, l mended my cassette deck yesterday. It keeps my record deck company.

No, and hell no, no more vinyl for me. I did the wall full of shelves with hundreds of lp many (many) years ago and now I much prefer carrying 60 days of music on a device about the same size as a BASF 90min cassette.

My daughter bought a turntable about nine months ago. She hasn't collected much vinyl. When the albums she wants to buy cost north of £25 each, I'm not entirely surprised.

Ex jukebox singles were 10p, current singles 70p. LP's £2.75 and double albums £5.

12-20 quid isn't bad for a vinyl LP these days (they were a good tenner twenty years ago)... but being Tesco it'll be Adele, Beiber, 1-Direction so all clearly overpriced. I've purchased 2 vinyl LPs this year and each was closer to £20 than £12

Even second hand LPs are expensive now, the Tesco price is the same as everywhere else.

The old Northern Soul singles were like gold dust back in the 70's 80's with prices to make your eyes water..and some are very sought after now..
i have 100's on cd now ,its so easy to listen to loads of stuff without the aggro..or i may be lazy.
i liked playing the singles when that was all you had.

i love vinyl but i dont have a means of playing them..
i keep meaning to sell all my old vinyl..

I saw them when I went in there on Thursday night, they're definitely going for the middle aged market.
