I'm unsure if you understand the pricing in Discogs. Discogs does not set any pricing, the people selling there set the prices, it's like eBay. Sellers on Discogs range from individuals like you and me to music stores selling their inventory. The prices can be whatever, but normally are based on the availability of records or CDs, but mainly records. If a record is out of print and highly desirable the price will reflect that. If a title is not desirable or you can find copies in the wild easily then the price will not be so high. For sure anything rare or was only issued once or limited release will be very expensive. I have many, many records I paid $30 for that now list for $100-$300 because the record has not been reissued again or that variant was limited, almost all of my early Riverside albums are like that. Pink Floyd~Pulse was a classic example. The 4-LP box set was going for $500 until last year when it finally got reissued by Pink Floyd records and the price dropped to $100.....Then all those new issues were sold within a month and the price jumped back up to $300 as a high. They were sold at $99 from the Pink Floyd store, but now if you want one it will cost you about $200 for sealed. That's how free trade markets work!

Supply and demand brother...supply and demand. Maybe a little foreign to a semi socialist country ?

Even capitalist countries are civilized, brother, where people are supposed to think about proper ethics - but I agree that it's much more complicated than that. |

Anyway, I can't imagine that the very high level of prices for used vinyl will continue for very long time yet. I see it as a kind of gold fever which won't go on - if for no other reason, because the supply will increase.

1. More used vinyl coming from the present and previous collectors 2. New reissues of old(er) releases which will have the same effect on the total supply - and even probably mostly at significantly lower prices than the used old(er) releases.

No David…. The expensive records will remain expensive because they probably are the rare titles that will not be reissued again. You can buy a 2016 reissue of DSOtM for $30 it sounds dang good. But that has not devalued a first pressing that still sell for $2-3K. Records are not traded like a commodity say oil or gold….. |

Anyway, if talking about vinyl Best Buys, this is my best recommendation - and even excellent Prog and a 500 copies limited edition: https://www.discogs.com/release/1133649-Djam-Karet-Reflections-From-The-Firepool

My record store pull from yesterday. First time shopping in a while. An unusually good pull :) Dylan Carlson is the guitarist for Earth, btw. This album would have been really good, but it is just too short at only half hour, unfortunately. Also without Adrienne's driving from Earth, it does feel like something is missing, but the drones are really good! I actually tend to prefer CDs to vinyl, mostly because CDs are more versatile, less of a pain in the ass to take care of, and, most importantly, considerably cheaper than vinyl. I only prefer vinyl if an album is mastered horribly on CD. But these ones are somewhat hard to come across, especially on CD, so I took them as they were well-ish priced ($38 for the entire haul including the three vinyls and one CD).

Someone(s) here seem(s) to have found my recommendation to be fine, as the only good offer from USA, coming from the record company, is now sold out, as it must have been their last copy(ies). If so, I'm happy about it, but anyway there's now only one more not-expensive offer left, from Germany. Plus one in Japan of the Japanese release ( https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/14672071?ev=rb ) - an obi-insert alone seems to be added to this "release", so the total is still only 500 vinyl copies of this album worldwide to present day.

Round these parts, I find it really hard to locate a VG++ of any KC. I have that Gryphon album on Bell records from 1974. I guess whichever you can find in VG++/NM would be my choice...or all of them!!

To be honest, I don't expect to find any of these in any decent shape around these parts, and by that I mean in North America. I have found some overseas and they are dear, $100 by the time you factor in shipping.

I'll chime in...
I'm lucky enough to have a couple of cool shops locally that seem to get in solid quality pre-owned vinyl. Excluding water damage and/or terminal scratching, I tend to only buy albums from the original vinyl era. Here's a short list of some recent grabs: Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water Crow - Best Of Crow Uriah Heep - s/t (dragon cover) Yes - Drama Yes - s/t Rare Bird - Somebody's Watching Genesis - Trespass Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Mountain - Climbing! Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two Gentle Giant - Free Hand Gentle Giant - Interview UFO - No Place To Run Alice Cooper - Goes To Hell Nektar - Magic If A Child U.K. - s/t |

I paid no more than $9 for any given title. A couple I only paid $2-$3 for.
