I’ve just successfully spent £115 on a supposedly “new” 2012 released album… This is the most I’ve spent on a record… I am in good company? What’s the most you’ve spent on a record?

I think I spent £5 on a couple of 80s 12”s a year or so before Covid. That aside, the last vinyl I bought was in 1990. So, ‘not much’, I think is my answer.
Now, if you were to ask how much I’d spent on limited edition film soundtrack CDs in the last five years, that’d be a totally different question…

The list price for a new album or a discounted price for one in a sale is the most I would entertain spending.
The few secondhand albums I have bought have been between £5 and £10 I would guess. There are a couple of albums that I lent out many years ago and never got back that I would like again but I refuse to pay stupid amounts for them.

Great Artist. Are you intended on playing it, or keeping it mint?

About £70 for the recent Japanese press of Archie Shepp - True Ballads. Most i’ve spent on a 7 is £36 for a 1975 Island press of Jacob Miller - Baby I Love You So/Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown.

I love my LPs (they are not called vinyl) and have done so since buying my first sometime in the 1970s they are my main listening source but I will not spend more than £20-30 on a single album.

I’ve a limit of around $70/£35 for new and have pretty much stopped buying used due to too many disappointments. For new, I’m now avoiding coloured as well and only going black, for quality reasons.

There’s no LP I want badly enough to pay exorbitant money for. CD makes expensive vinyl redundant imo, streaming more so. £30 or so is my ceiling for new vinyl, £15 or so for s/h. S/h bargains are the most fun.

Black is a colour too. Native vinyl without any dye is clear.

Yes, I’ve just found that ones that aren’t black seem to have more issues with surface noise than the black ones, for whatever reason.

Black is usually dark blue.
I am becoming very selective with my vinyl purchases these days as prices are just getting too high; £30+ for single albums is just too much when I can have the CD for less that half that price. However, I did pay £70 for Deus Arrakis by Klaus Schulze for the limited edition vinyl boxed set but this was a one-off and it is now worth £300+ I think.
