Anyone get involved in RSD yesterday? (Appreciate a certain game may have got in the way!)
I picked up Cameo by Dusty Springfield and Haircut 100 live at the Odeon from 1982.
I also took the opportunity to pick up 1982 by A Certain Ratio, though not an RSD release.
If I had unlimited funds, the Nuggets compilation looked awesome, but at £150......... |  |

I didn't get involoved, I was at the Peterborough game, but I do buy a fair bit of vinyl.
I have found RSD to be a bit of a con. It seems to be an excuse to release old material on coloured viny in a limited run, just to bump up the prices.
I took a look in my local record shop today, and they had plenty of remaining releases, all massively overpriced. If they were good value, then they wouldn't still be available.
All the popular releases seem to end up on ebay, evan more overpriced.
I think that the whole vinyl thing has got a bit out of control. I have been buying vinyl since the '80s and have a pretty big collection, but when you start seeing routine, new release albums available on vinyl for £40 or so, when the CD is £12, it feels like we are being taken for mugs.
I can't wait for vinyl to become unfashionable again. |  | | |

Agree with every word of this.
If I can buy 3 CD albums for the same price as a vinyl album, then something is very wrong! |  |

I'm assuming that the price has risen steeply because of the cost of oil and companies cashing in on it's popularity. Anyway, a lot of my 12" stuff is now hovering around the £15 mark which is pricing me out, which is shame as quite a lot of it isn't available digitally.
I will , however, get the Snapped Ankles 'Blurtations' when it's released and probably the Suicide EP. |  | | |

I just took possession of seven boxes of vinyl from my late father - we were never allowed near them as kids. I think they're mostly 60/70s - judging by his tastes there will be some crackers in there. I just need to find the time or someone to catalogue them all, and not really being a vinyl man myself I haven't really decided what else to do with them which seems a shame I guess! |  |

I'd assumed that vinyl was extensively mined in Russia, and so supplies are limited by international sanctions. |  |

I buy and sell film and music, and never get involved in RSD (or even buying any new reissue vinyl at all) Living in London, there will be a record fair somewhere local every Saturday (unfortunately means I miss out on a lot of footie) and a few Fridays a month, so always plenty of original releases to pick up for a fraction of the prices of reissues; and if you go to enough of them (and buy enough on a regular basis), the dealers get to know you and will nearly always cut you deal.
Plus you're doing you bit for the planet by reusing and recycling, as the production of new vinyl records isn't particularly environmentally friendly... |  |

Just to point out from a technical point of view...
Vinyl is uncompressed and thus pure music.
CDs are compressed and thus the quality is less.
But all in all CDs last longer as they are more resolute. But you point on the price difference is certainly upheld. |  | | |

No. Vinyl is extracted from spent grapevines, I believe, before being washed and processed on the banks of a North African river. The name, therefore, comes from a contraction of the phrase "Why do I post this crap?" |  |
