    Vinyl. Archaic and overpriced.

    I really don’t like three sides records.
    Either record more songs or expand the material to 45rpm.
    3 sides is a waste and a way to charge more for a gatefold.
    Two records fine but make it 45rpm sounds way better.

    Considering they charge $30 for Easy Street, $35 for Gigaton seems like a steal.

    Thirty years ago at my local record store, a vinyl album typically went for $7.99 and a CD typically went for $11.99.  Today, the CD can still be had for $11.99 but vinyl costs at least twice that (three times in the case of Gigaton).  It's an interesting economics case study.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    That must have been right when prices change. I first remember buying new vinyl in the mid 90s about 25 years ago, I think I paid about $15 for Ten new.
    But that makes sense, isn't the late 80s about the time vinyl wasn't so popular? SO prices were cheap/. Just like cassette tapes, even though they were more expensive to make in the 90s, they were cheaper than CDs to buy.

    What's your standards ? Beethoven and Mozart ?
    Taste in music is personal, as long as I know.

    Less than the beef tenderloin but more than the gallon of milk.....I realize that this is an unfavorable approach, but I usually go for quantity over quality...is that a mistake?
