Ok, new on here .
I been collecting lp ‘s and enjoying all types of music since I was young.
But with the prices of records rising both new and used. I been asking myself how long before many go enough. RSD 2023 was just ok but I was taken back on prices and how one artist gets a huge release and others next to nothing. While I enjoy a great sounding lp I cant justify seeing a reissue going for 150 plus. Yet Blue Note has seemed to get it right.
Plus a-lot of record stores are saying it starting to slow up and cd’s and cassettes are starting to sell more. Another format I enjoy btw. (cd’s)
Also when did anyone with a smart phone become a record critic? You-Tube I chuckle when and man my age says you dont know what your missing not buying this re issue . FOMO I think not !!!!!!
My son and his friends just stream and I must say most sounds good .They don't have to move a collection lol.FYI I don't think vinyl is the be all end all. It is just something I grew up with.
How are you listening to music?
