The good news is there are a lot of used LP's out there. The bad news is many of them are damaged beyond repair. I was in Music Millennium last week, and the sounds of a familiar late-60's/early-70's album (try as I might, I just can't recall which one) came over the store's system. I went up to the counter and saw that it was an LP being played, a used one priced at $60. I didn't ask to look at the LP to evaluate it's condition, but it was being played on a not-so-hot turntable, possibly to it's detriment. |
As bdp24's reflected, the low-hanging fruit of quality 50s/60s/early 70s vinyl have been mainly picked over. I'm constantly searching for 1st pressing jazz LPs (mono especially) from mainly the 50s/60s in near-mint or better condition. Not so easy to find anymore, and when you do it's priced at a hefty premium. |
