Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones.

try to follow the analogue path. Original pressings on quality vinyl will sound way better than any questionable reissue. Asking price of originals cannot be valued.

In my opinion the Zappa vinyl reissues have been very well done (mastered by Bernie Grundman and Chris Bellman, pressed at Pallas), and for sane prices. And if a particular title could not be cut from an analog source, at least they're honest about it. I wish everyone else (including MFSL) would be a little more forthcoming in that regard....

chakster is right, we need to distinguish between record collectors and audiophiles. I actually hadn't even thought about that. I assumed the OP was talking about new ultra-audiophile issues where the specialized and limited pressing drives the price sky high.

If you know which lps are worth it or not i do it took me over 30 years to learn and i am still not an expert.good luck.
