The prices for vinyl albums are disgusting. Milking the ones who do buy when the masses have turned their back.
Bought a Swedish artists album for like 39 dollars this fall. Fans couldn't blame the price on it being 2 LPs or that a pointless 7'' was included (like people have done with Neil Young). Yuck. But it is what it is. No one buys albums anymore and they still cost to produce and artists still do want to have careers that make them money.

Saw a Doors reissue for $60. I declined to purchase that album...
Can that post be correct this comes out February 11 and we’re not going to get the vinyl till end of April
Yah, it's becoming super common. Vinyl demand now vastly outnumbers vinyl supply. It can take up to a year to get an album pressed now. Many musicians have given up and do a digital release of their album at one point, and you get the vinyl whenever it's able to be pressed kind of thing.
With streaming the preferred listening mode for the newer generation, the vinyl version kind of follows the model Radiohead started. You have time to listen first, and can decide to purchase a physical copy later. Kind of sad that for many music has become a disposable commodity, and for those who appreciate the artwork and vinyl experience we have to pay much more.

Probably incorrect seeing that many online record stores have bumped the vinyl released date to April / May.
I know right? Hopefully there isn't a delay.
