Why Is Vinyl Expensive

Why is vinyl expensive.

For one it is because americans have gotten used to cheap music. There s only a few actually working now. In diy punk for example the music i m involved and not only as a listener currently 12 14 euros for a new lp release is the norm. In my opinion the correct question is why is new mainstream vinyl now so expensive.

It was wilson s only single and the majority of demo copies were destroyed which is why it s so collectible. There s also a shortage of lacquers required to create masters for pressing made worse by a fire in one of the few factories that made. Granted it was a deluxe limited edition double vinyl version of last year s villains with 14 art prints tucked. Dealing with music that is not mainstream someone can easily see the difference.

A number of reasons. Vinyl lps are so expensive because shoreditch hipsters will pay 22 for them. There are many valuable vinyl records out there including perhaps the most expensive motown northern soul 7 inch ever do i love you indeed i do recorded by frank wilson in 1965 and which sold for over 25 000 31 000 at auction in 2009. And so will the people who think they are getting a much better aural experience.

I think that there are a couple of reasons why vinyl is so expensive today. It is a niche fashionable product that people are willing to pay over the odds for.
