    I still cannot understand for any reason why people now pay the prices that are being asked for vinyl records; to me, its just pure exploitation by businesses due to the fact that vinyl has become popular again. Maybe i'm living in a dream world but, a few years ago, everyone was chucking them in the bin as worthless, old fashioned junk; now people are paying crazy money for "half speed remasters," "180gram sp edtns" and the like - crazy or what ? It's just a vinyl record, it doesn't mean one should be paying a kings ransom for it!!!!!

    Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. I'll buy CD's, remastered CD's etc for a few quid and I know they'll sound good for years !!

    I agree, but if people are willing to pay four times the price of the CD version then that is up to them and their wallet.

    The sanity of record buying, like hifi and just about every hobby/pastime, doesn't bear close scrutiny, it's all a bit mental really. Though for most of us with limited funds there will come a point where we go "right enough's enough, they're taking the piss now"... I've reached that point, and fortunately I have enough vinyl now to see me out

    I will still buy the occasional LP if I consider it to be a (relative) bargain.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Arcam A75 integrated, Monitor Audio R852 MD speakers
    A/V:
    LG OLED65 G56LS, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL T9i sub.

    No it's not. I agree the cost of new vinyl is preposterous, however I am also of the opinion that those that disagree have a perfect right to do so.

    Bought this today from a charity shop. Very listenable without being too challenging.
    At these prices it is nice to try things that I've never heard of before.

    Track 1 Bass is really quite something..
    Having said that, the whole album is pretty amazing.
    "Never Good Enough" drum work is worth a test listen.
