None of the vinyl I've bought has cost less than £20.

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

Guns n Roses, The Stone Roses, Fleetwood Mac.

You'd have to pay me a lot more than £12-20 to take a Guns and Roses album off your hands

They finally work out how to get digital sounding better than analogue but then find there's no money to be made in the format - so it's a retreat back to vinyl in a desperate attempt to cash in.

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.

Same here. My 3000+ albums now fit in the palm of my hand, and I've got oodles of floor/wall space back.

I've paid £28 as crowdsource funding for a one off live cutting of a vinyl album by one of my favourite groups.

I don't even have a record player anymore.

Lucky for me the'll give out link to the MP3 download site when the vinyl arrives.

New releases were getting near £10 when i stopped buying new vinyl ....... seems a fair price to me.

I love my vinyl collection. It's not very big nowadays, only about 2' long each for 45s and 33s. I used to have a massive collection back in the late 80's with every top 10 single and top 10 album from 1st January 1962, when my Aunt started collecting. When I left home, she gave them all to me as she was downsizing her home and had no room. I carried on collecting every single and LP in the UK top 10, right up until I was burgled. They knew what they were after, so I can only assume it was a 'friend'. Although they were insured, I could never replace about 80% of them so didn't.

I would buy LPs from Tesco but only the right albums. I would really like to replace all my George Harrison stuff and bring that back catalogue up to date again. Time and money have stopped me. After moving and unpacking, I found a dozen cassettes including my old Rick Wakeman - No Earthly Connection (no sign of White Rock or Journey to the Centre of the Earth, or Myths and Legends.... either)

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..

If you are selling your old vinyl, what do you have? I might be interested in the New Year (after paying the VED and MOT for my car)

Ironically, I've not listened to any of the vinyl LPs I've bought recently... I just use the download code to get the MP3 and listen to that instead.

MP3 is more convenient, but when it comes to vinyl, it's all about the size of the thing and the cover art the artefact itself... my latest buy, the most recent Gong LP prior to Daevid Allen's sad demise is a three sided double album with a lovely print of the cover art of the fourth side... gorgeous!

What's vinyl...is it a new iPhone app?

 

[vernon]

Vinyl offers much more sensory pleasure than sound of the music. The covers were an art form in themselves. The pops and scratches accrued through drunken placements of the stylus or manufacturing defects were assimilated by the soundtrack and became anticipated features with every play. Concept albums with their booklets, pop up features and scratch and sniff covers are sorely missed by me.

Ownership of mp3 tracks and CDs is a joyless experience. There is no physical and very little other engagement with the product of musicians and bands.

So, my response to the original question is £12 - £20 for an album is good value. It's roughly the same price range across all retail sources. I still buy vinyl its always been available. It's nearly always on offers from the merchandise stands at many gigs. Buying it now is no more out of the ordinary than buying it in its heyday.

Tesco is an irrelevance thrown into the mix in an attempt to be provocative as is Yellow Tim's modus operandi.

Can you skin up on an mp3?
No.
Therefore vinyl exists.
