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.
