dj diablo i think you got your math wrong 100 pounds cost about $150 in US. yeh rare records do cost alot of money! i have gotten couple of old records. it depends what you want!

right on! not too much $ after all....i'm gonna try to check out some vinyl shops here in seattle that might sell trance records, wish me luck

>JM<

What the hell do you mean, 'vinyl is cheaper than CDs'???
Who told you this nonsense??

When I buy a CD I get about 12 tracks for the price of $15-18...
When I buy vinyl, I get 1 song (even if there are several remixes) for $10...

Now, can you expect to commonly use the vinyl that you bought?
Can you play it in your car, take it with you to the gym, etc.?

In addition to vinyl being extremely expensive, it also has limited use... the vinyl industry today, I think, exists solely for the DJ's. There aren't all that many old-skool 'collectors' who buy trance, are there? think about it...

Yea....i guess ur right..... I didn't really think about it that much...plus...i've never really bought a vinyl before so....i think i learned something.

Thanks for the info...

Sorry, I know my maths was wrong on that one, I didn't really read what I was writing!

You've gotta remember that vinyl is sold to a select market. The prices need to be kept reasonable so that these people keep buying them. You gotta admit, none of us is made of money.

I take in what u say guys, perhaps I was wrong in the broad sense of things. I'm sure I knew what I was writing tho (i was a little under the influence ) .

I do agree with u

Forgive me; but what is an LP record?

LP = Long Play basicly an Album on a 12inch Vinyl played at 33.3rpm

Single = typically a 2 or 3 track vinyl which can be on a 7inch or a 12inch, before CD the 7 inch single was the most popular being equivalent to a radio edit track on a cd single today.
Nowadays the 12inch single is the most popular, i have not seen a 7 inch single on sale for years . . .

EP = Extended Play - used to be a 10inch vinyl with 4 to 6 tracks on it but again nowadays is typically on a 12inch vinyl.


With the design of vinyl u also had 2 speeds at which to play them
Single's and EP's at 45 rpm
LP's or albums at 33.3 rpm.

Depending on the length of a track 12inch singles can be played at either 45rpm or 33.3rpm


hope that helps a bit

Peace
