Except that vinyl is recognised/pushed as being the ideal collector's format, and so the resultant demand coupled with the artificial scarcity of limited colours and issued units inevitably leads to high prices.

Vinyl records are very expensive and CDs are dirt cheap now. Here's a recent neat comparison in price I found: Charles Mingus' "Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus" on vinyl is $45, the same on CD is $9. Strange, no? Both are out-dated methods of listening to music.

2022-06-17 01:53:22 +0000 UTCIt's so interesting for you guys to focus on CDs being nostalgic. I'm 32, and started collecting vinyl records at 16 years old. Vinyl records were not a technology that was widely used in my youth by my parents. Cassettes were far more common. That being said, Vinyls have always been nostalgic for me, but only through my perception of them and the culture in which they exist. My actual lived experience with them was tenuous at best. I'm assuming that all three of you are millennials, so CDs are naturally an out-dated concept for you; however, zoomers have actually started bringing back CD usage and collection. I'm imagining that the impotence for this is largely nostalgia in the same way that Record collection was vaguely nostalgic for me.
