Why Vinyl Records Are Expensive

The breaking point for me was 64 98 for the new queens of the stone age album.

Why vinyl records are expensive.

That had got records to the best sound they ever had. And i think they were only pressed at 120. It might not seem like much but in the 30 s a dollar w. Johson released five albums with the paramount label and all are considered collector items.

I think that there are a couple of reasons why vinyl is so expensive today. If you know anything about vinyl records then you ll appreciate why they can sell for a lot of moola. Vinyl records have become a fan favorite as well as a significant income stream for many artists. But vinyl records are expensive and can take many weeks to produce.

For instance 78s in the 30 s sold for a dollar. I ve come to notice that 180 pressing is just a waste of vinyl. The 78rpm record was sold on ebay for 37 100 in 2013. Granted it was a deluxe limited edition double vinyl version of last year s villains with 14 art prints tucked.

There are just two copies in the world which makes it extremely valuable. Signed limited edition records like the ones on this list are like gold dust to collectors. For one it is because americans have gotten used to cheap music. You ll find everything from signed beatles records worth close to 300 000.
