How come the new vinyl is so expensive ?
34.99$ US ?
I hope there is no song about capitalism on their new album., because I will need good explanations !
Sorry.. I have been buying and collecting records for the last 15 years, and now prices don't make senses anymore.
my opinion...

I don't understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn't it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?

So stream it on spotify like 99% of the free world. It's a collectible. They aren't mass producing vinyl these days.0

1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, CaliforniaNothing since then. I suck.
2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
2022- Oakland Night 2
2024 Sacramento, CA0 -
It is being pressed at a nice plant (QRP - one of the best in the US - I imagine something comparable in the EU), if they had it mastered by someone good, that will add to the cost too.
$35 is slightly pricey for 2LPs, but its not a crazy amount given the above. I guess we'll see if its worth it when it arrives.0 -
You could probably wait for the used bins.0

Get ready for it to be even more across the board since the major plant that making vinyl was destroyed in a fire last weekMarquee 91
Wetlands 91
CBGB 91
Roseland 91
and many, many more0 -
My guess is because we'll pay it? Are any of us not going to buy it on vinyl over 5 or $10? Probably not. No one walks into a record store, says "o, Pearl Jam put out a new album this week, and its on vinyl? How much is it? O I'll pass on that."
I doubt it has anything to do with paying their employees well (although they very well may), they know their customers and what we'll pay.0 -
@mace1229; and I will still buy for it.. and would still buy it at 50$.. and they know it. What makes me laugh though is how fans need to find a reason why price is high....
i am sure if Creed had release a 3 sides records at 35$US, people would have a different opinion.
