Why is vinyl expensive.

There s only a few actually working now. Granted it was a deluxe limited edition double vinyl version of last year s villains with 14 art prints tucked. It is a niche fashionable product that people are willing to pay over the odds for. 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. Vinyl doesn t really sell that much it was pretty much killed off years ago so most pressing plants were shut down and demand isn t that big to warrant spending huge sums to make new factories. Vinyl lps are so expensive because shoreditch hipsters will pay 22 for them. A number of reasons.

For one it is because americans have gotten used to cheap music. It was wilson s only single and the majority of demo copies were destroyed which is why it s so collectible. The breaking point for me was 64 98 for the new queens of the stone age album. 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.

For instance 78s in the 30 s sold for a dollar. 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.
