Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

Looks like it’s been reissued twice.  Once this year and once last year.  I ordered the latest.  Originals are $300, $100 for last year’s limited edition, and $50 for the latest/current release.  

We’re spinning through phenomenal changes in the vinyl market.  (I know I know it’s not news to this group).   Although I’m happy that more people are turning on to vinyl and more new issues are coming out on LP, I definitely have mixed feelings about this tulip bubble happening with record prices - especially older record prices.   I pretty much never sell records and am kinda bummed about having to pay $100 for old records (that were less than $10 two or three years ago) that I want to flesh out and fill in my shelves.  I mean, even high volume popular stuff like the REM noromance mentioned yesterday is going for $100.  Ten times that if it’s Led Zeppelin....  as a buyer my life will need to change.  It’s pretty much no consolation that the value of my album collection is about 10 times higher than it was a couple/few years ago.  Stating the obvious I know.

Please let me add a heartfelt welcome to the thread from a fellow resident of the strange town of Portland. 

Aren’t we lucky to have Echo Audio here.  Frequently posting member here  @big_greg shops there too.  

I recently ordered Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" 45rpm for $50. ( Got a 15 % discount, so subtract $7.50) I know it’s been repressed but likely much better than my 33 rpm version that came out originally both at the same time.

Keep seeing the original 45 rpm going for $90 on several sites. Figured, get it while I can.
Yeah, there are exceptions of course.  A lot of pricing factors but limited supply is not always largest.  It’s interesting to me that it seems like some records are just more treasured for their content - music and SQ.    
Rumours  has great content and one of the biggest selling records all time.
