The vinyl record collecting blog - with news about new vinyl record releases, vinyl record sales, new music releases, album cover art and weekly features
After several years of depressed prices, and weird and fetishistic one off acetates, private press records and countless Led Zeppelin road boxes making the list, bidders are returning to push up prices of the standard-bearers from Elvis, the Beatles, and moving 50's European classical box sets past the $10k mark. Sell your gold and swiss francs, and give away the horded canned goods and bags of rice; the dreaded mob of vegetarian child molesting Muslim communists will not be taking over. The world is returning to normal.
