i've never bought a record, i barely know what looks like, but am thinking about it more and more lately.....
so how much money (US$ preferably) do trance records go for????
i'm guessing they range for the number of tracks on the record....
>JM<
December 1 ***EDIT***
ok then i just went out and bought two PVD vinyls (the riddle, another way/avenue, and lexos - the key, which in my mind is a great tune
one problem...hehe....no record player.....well anyone know how much record players go for these days???? ( well if they sell them which i doubt) or would i be better off buying me some turntables, but they're damn expensive, like 500 USD for technics Turntables i think i saw...i just wanna play the records not mix them...i dont think i'm gonna become a dj anytime soon, no skillz here...
any advice welcome!
thanx,
>JM<

here in TO it's around 10-15 CDN and a double EP is around 20-23 bucks. it's pretty well rounded considering the importing cost and everything. thank God vinyls have stayled pretty low in terms of price, unlike bloody CDs out there on the market.

It can be as cheap as £2 (about $3) for brand new pre-release ones and up to like £8 (about $12) for promos and chart songs.

Each imported record costs $10 here in America.
The domestically-produced records are $7.
Brand-new white-labels are sometimes $12.

Wow!!
I didn't think they would be cheaper than CD's...
For some reason i though vinyls would be more expensive..don't ask me why...
That's pretty cool though!!

This is my theory on vinyl costing less than CDs,
Only collectors and DJs use vinyl. Unfortunately, both these catorgories mean that the owners have up to zillions of them, each being singles. The record companies keep their prices down so you buy more. In fairness, if you've got turntables - you won't be able to keep yourself from the record shop.
CD buyers on the other hand go from being 10 year old kids who buy "daphne and celeste" right up to the DJ / collector types who buy albums. The record industry can keep the CD prices high cos they know that the 10 year old kids arent gonna stop buying CDs so the demand is high.
This may be total shit but I think it makes sense.
p.s, i've seen some really rare tracks being sold on vinyl for well over £100 wich equates to about $65 - $70. That's just what i've seen, imagine what they could be sold for
that converts to about $7..? sumthin like that anyway
