Whats on your turntable tonight?

Amy Helm "This Too Shall Light"

@bdp24 ,

I don't think I paid anywhere near $30.00 for that Buddy Miller lp. However, I wonder.... Maybe it's just me but when I think of the cost of a live show (which is a one time deal), the drive there and back, probably a meal, drink....and weigh that against a nice lp that I can listen to anytime I choose, I don't find $30.00 overly priced in that context.

Rod Stewart "Every Picture Tells a Story"  MFSL/Silver Label

One of my very first lps I ever bought...……...

Good point @slaw. My balk at paying over thirty bucks for an LP is in relation to the difference in sound between the LP and it's ten buck CD equivalent, which I already own. If the LP is pressed from a mediocre source (non-hirez), what's the point? I like the sound Buddy gets (he engineers in his own home studio), it's unique and kinda "funky". But audiophile it's not!

@bdp24 ,

Could you tell us what a standard contract between the record label vs. artist entails and what the artist cut is?
