it's annoying when there's so many records you want to buy but have to leave
half in the shop cos you can't afford them all but i think it's quite
expensive to produce vinyl these days and with labels not selling a lot, i
don't think there's much they can do about it
don't know about other countries but in the UK the price for an import 12
has been about the same since i started buying vinyl, about fifteen years
ago (£7-£8), so i'm glad that the price hasn't increased, like it has for
most things
if it's a great record, then i consider it money well spent, as i'll listen
to it hundreds of times, compared to a book that i'll read once and then
it'll sit and gather dust (not that i don't buy books, but if i had a choice
it would be a record every time)
i know a lot of stuff is being sold on mp3 sites like bleep these days, but
give me the vinyl every time.......
