Price of Vinyl ££££££££
Discussion
I remember my mother owned a grocers locally about 30 years ago,and tbere was a guy used to come in giving her records to sell.
I swear to got every single piece of vinyl he brought in was coloured or a weird shape.I remember a brown oblong one in a Yorkie bar Lp cover,an orange star shaped one,countless picture discs etc.The lot would have been worth a fortune now i reckon.
I kept one that always appealed to me,picture disc of abbey road,wish i'd kept the lot,they were all thrown out when the shop went tits up.

I guess part of the reason is that new vinyl is so incredibly expensive...
I've got a couple of Mono Beatles LPs I bought in a charity shop for £1.50 each about 20 years ago.
I've no idea what they're worth now, but I had a feeling at the time that original vinyl might be valuable sometime...

PS ETA, well not THAT much, but more than £1.50... Also, were the White Album or Sgt Peppers REALLY ever released in Mono? Some are listed as such on eBay... EATA - Seems so!

I had a Hendrix first press that jumped, my mate who is a Vinyl nut said he would have a look, he had it a few days then gave it me back and what a difference, he said it was just crap and gave it a good clean and it now sound fantastic with no jumping.
Well worth keeping them clean and dust free as it makes such a difference.

He also played a analog studio recorded vinyl back to back with a downloaded digital version, the difference in sound is amazing, the vinyl sounds so much better and you hear so much more that is missing on the digital downloaded version.
Yes I have some like that. I think it's just that the vinyl record was mastered better. Apparently you can't be such a nob with the levels like you can when mastering a CD (because it causes the needle to jump).Cd don't sound that bad its the downloaded stuff, I think they must compress it because it sounds rubbish compared to a hard copy,
Still you can't beat Vinyl that was recorded on analog equipment, he played me some Lenny Kravitz that was all recorded on 70s analog equipment, it sounded epic on vinyl.
