Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting

New albums prices have now increased to an average of $30 and quite frankly it's becoming ridiculous. I will also be looking into upgrading my digital end as the streaming sound quality/content is getting better and buying less vinyl in 2024.  

It appears that only half of the people who buy records actually own a turntable.

$6 in 1976 = $32.08 in 2023.
 

I don’t know how old you are but I remember paying $6.00 for an album and thinking it was a good deal. If you look at the conversion $6.00 back in the day to the equivalent value now - $30.00 (believe or not) it’s about the same. Look at the price of housing and or the price of cars you’ll see the same thing. Now if you’re mainly enjoying streaming, the price of vinyl won’t necessarily change that.

Just my 2 cents or 10 cents in today’s Value 😉

$30 in 2023 is about $11.00 in 1990 per 

I'm not sure vinyl is too expensive.  

Why pay for music when you can legally steal it?
