Love your videos! Hopefully you'll finally show the Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood boxset in the next one. :)

I may be in the minority on this, but the one I’m looking forward to, hoping one makes it to my area, is the Carl Stalling Project double colour vinyl LP, having owned both volumes on CD when they were first released

Honestly I have been part of the last 5 RSD but in all honesty there is not a lot to get excited about. The bar is pretty low when you have a CC xmas album and Steve Martin’s King Tut

I posted that you have The Warning Error 404 album on their discord server so I am sure a local will be in to pick that up and hopefully some more stuff.

It doesn't need to say Grateful Dead. It's like the Mcdonalds arches or the shell logo when you see it you know what it is, No name needed.

Hi Billy Best wishes for a successfull RSD! Trish

Subscribed, I'll be back Jack!

Without a doubt, this kind of stuff has a dollar bin future. Just like a lot of the mainstream tastes of the 70's and 80's.

Dude if you have not listen to The Warning, take a minute and listen to them, that album is killer. TWA is all about the three live tracks on that release.

Deer Creek!!😂😂

Big thanks for the sneaky peak brother!

Hey Billy. So cool seeing you do videos again. Kick ass releases this week ! Have a great weekend man. 😎🤘

I said in the other channel: Today's vinyls are made of digital sources so basically they are just CD in vinyl format. So all those word saying vinyl has warmth sound just a BS. If you want to collect original analogue sound go collecting those original pressing (not always first pressing) but definitely not today's pressing of old albums. For younger collectors to know, during the heyday of vinyls, their prices was almost similar to CDs, i.e when CD was retailed for $18, vinyl was 19-23 of the same album. This is to say the highest cost was actually the copyright not the physical format. Pressing a vinyl of 500 copies was around $5sh (incl the cost of master stamper), adding with the cost of sleeve that would come to $10sh/copy. Then plus with copyrights, distribution cost, margin, and other overhead costs, the price of an album should be $23- $29 as this video has suggested, not $40!

The Beatles is not a new release it is just rehashed garbage for cretins. Talk about gullible

The people buying those are records are Johnny come latelies and thus is a passing fad for them. These kids aren’t investing in good systems for playback and will lose interest in the crossley audiophile sound real darn quick. The massive pressings of these flavor of the month records is clogging up plants and causing small artists to have their orders backed up for months. This increase in interest in vinyl has led to serious gouging and absolutely outrageous pricing. It’s gotten so bad that I’ve list interest, and know I’m buying cassettes and cd/SACD’s for physical media.

Big thanks Billy ..shoot man, take that Beatles box home ..😂

Could be certain fair weather collectors getting weeded out to a degree too. I think we're headed back to the serious collectors being involved and the less interested hopping on the bandwagon of the next trend...which might be CDs.

Thank you for sharing this interesting perspective, Billy. I wasn’t really aware of what the vinyl market was looking like these days. I’ve collected records since I was a kid in the late 80s, but pretty much stopped around 2020, and even pared my collection down quite a bit. I have been wondering what would become of what I could see as a bubble, with new single LPs going for $40+ in stores. Reminds me of the height of CD sales, when there were all sorts of ridiculous packaging gimmicks that would cost a fortune. And we bought them. Maybe the vinyl format isn’t really well suited to the type of listening that current pop music is designed for/targeted towards and that would partially explain the turnaround. And/or a lot of beginners will buy the $100 crosley that’s right next to the Harry Styles record and be underwhelmed by the sound quality! It’s a bit like the way printers and ink cartridges are today. You buy a $30 printer but end up spending $100 on ink. 😂 And also the sports card thing…I was the perfect age to get swept up in baseball card fever in the late 80s-early 90s. I still have all my cards, for whatever they’re worth lol! I was too young to really understand what was happening with that market…I just knew that it seemed like they were worth nothing all of a sudden. I had lost interest by then anyway, haha!

30 is the max I'm going to pay for a record, and even that is a bit pushing it.

the absolute worst is when kids come back to sell their mint in shrinkwrap barely touched colored vinyl limited edition collectors item and find out what its really worth. im almost 60 and have been a collector of various items since i was in grade school and one thing ive learned is that overall collecting is fun not an investment.

Markets crash when greed out-paces desire (demand)...

'Interesting' Tame Impala aka Kevin.Parker seemingly was shoved in with Sheeren Adele Grande et al ... what the younger side is bringing in.. KP/TI is hardly a new comer...over 15 years recording/touring...amazing talent with longetivity! The studio lps vibe have that TR-1 vibe...AWATS era sounding! Has there been an influx of TI 4 studio albums coming into.thestore? Purchased because the album cover was 'cool.looking!? About it....knowing very little /nothing about the music? Sure your vid regards pricing and its parameters! Btw dont feel the 25.00 to 35.00 range is excessive... new vinyl many many reasons as say preloved releases ie the chatlatans uk dukes of stratosphere Archie shepp.charles lloyd at the above mentioned prices For one among many... vinyl is hardly or for the matter at all 'disposable' say like eating out going on vacation et al Thanx for reading

I dont feel bad for the kids who buy trendy garbage that will end up losing out when they cash out their collection. If YOU think it's absurd to rip a kid off for such an expensive album, then don't support the corporate greed by housing these albums in your store. But they will just buy it off Amazon anyways... so there is just no winning.

I normally sample an album on Apple Music before I buy, but although I had nothing by Adele I made an impulse purchase at Walmart of "30". Oh my gawd, what an overpriced piece of absolute garbage. I guess when she lost all that weight she also lost her talent. I think a lot of young people who only have so much disposable income are finding out that steaming music makes more sense financially.

Those records ain’t worth shit in my opinion

Many new buyers don't buy records to listen to. They do like some artists, as youth always does, and like to own their vinyl, it's cool, but they stream the music. The records are more like ornaments or a way to connect more with their favorable artist. But most if not all the listening is online. So the excitement over new record is not because of the chance of hearing the music or even wanting to hear it from vinyl, so they do not connect so deeply to the vinyl, it's mora like a fashion to them. And so within not so long time they loose interest. They still listen to music but vinyl is not essential to that, just an expensive collecting hobby and something else comes up that they want rather to spend their money on, and they get rid of their vinyl making place for something new. Of course this goes not for every youth and many older persons also don't buy vinyl to listen to. Unbelievable percentage of new vinyl is never taken out of the plastic, for different reasons, much higher percentage than was ever before. I think there will be place for vinyl forward but not as large market especially for new vinyl.

dude, cobain died 30 years ago, its not new music. people from this time might have still used vinyl but for every one who is younger those records, specialy new ones, are just mercendise items . they dont have a emotional conection to listen to records. most artist dont even do full albums.

It's a healthy lesson in depreciation for them kids.

I live in London. I buy only vinyl and I do not have the perspective that old is gold. However the means of recording is gone - digital does not work. It took me a long time to realise that all vinyl these days is digitally processed which is why the sound is flat. Humans were conned into believing that digital is better than reality (analogue). Poetry is a subtle phenomenon which is analogue in nature. I only buy 1960s original vinyl now. It's cheaper and you are guaranteed 100% analogue. The sound is crisp and satisfying. There is also a never ending supply of great bands. The mind might be conned by digital but the nervous system isn't.

I switched from tapes to vinyl when everyone was dumping their records for CDs, now I've been buying more CDs since they are the affordable option. its cool that vinyl has come back but paying crazy high $40 prices for a brand new record or reissue does not make sense to me and makes me want the trend to end so prices will go back to normal

What about high end pressings, such as One Steps and UHQR records? Are they holding their resale value? Is there as much demand for them as there was a few years ago?

Where does a 60 year old start his rant. Been collecting vinyl and CD's since the early 80's. As for vinyl, I was turned off of new generic pressings (poor sound quality) when vinyl was making a come back around 2005 so I more or less have not purchased since, except for a handful of Analog Productions and other high end pressings. As a Canadian, when I heard that The Tragically Hip were going to reissue their catalog, I immediately listed my original MCA pressings on eBay as I new the flood of inferior pressings would diminish the value of my original Hip records. I did keep my sealed copy of Day For Night, MCA11140. Same for the Pumpkins HUTTLP-30, I had two copies and sold one when I heard they were reissuing it. True music collectors do this for the love of listening to well recorded music, whether vinyl or CD. I mean seriously, anyone that is paying $40 dollars plus for a record and dropping it on a Crosley record player, get your head examined. Last comment; most new music is recorded digitally, then pressed of vinyl (analog) only to be converted back to digital when played back at home. Something wrong there.

Can't wait!! I will be there!!!

One of the main advantages with vinyl records is having the cover art nice and big, so it can be appreciated more. However. . . that's only a factor in metal, prog rock, 70s soul / funk, and other niche genres that value elaborate cover art. Most popular music has dreadfully boring covers- usually just a pic of the artist. So for me personally, if the cover is lame, I don't feel as incentivized to drop big $$$ on the vinyl.

Modern music is AI garbage

I see a copy of Velvet Underground - "Loaded" in the background. A true classic.

People are broke. Everything costs a ridiculous amount in 2024. Hobbies take a back seat to bills and food.

Awesome preview thanks billy

In the pass years I would buy an average of approx. one record per week, this year I bought 2 records so far. I simply got tired of going through the new arrival bins (used records, I'm more interested in closer to OGs as possible) every week and seeing the same records over and over again, they keep the records in the new arrivals bins for to long. Now I just go once in a while, but the interesting records are usually gone by then.

Any info on the re-release of the Tracy Chapman album from 1988.. supposed to be out this summer but never happened.

Vinyl records that have cool covers are easier to fall in love with and keep. All those album covers you held up suck....therefore.

It’s perfect timing as I see it to get into record collecting. No more big rip off, you can buy all these records at the price they should have been from the start.

Thanks for the sneak peek Billy. I look forward to seeing part 2. Hopefully, Van Halen will be included. 🥰 Have a wonderful weekend.

Looking forward to the Dickey betts, and better than Ezra. I was in school in Baton Rouge when they started to hit it big.

Listening to you describe the new releases I had to wonder don’t they make records in standard black vinyl anymore? The record companies are using colored vinyl as a selling tool I don’t think it’s special to get colored copies anymore The old black vinyl will become collectible

Don’t forget 11/22, pre-orders for the third volume of the Philadelphia Eagles Christmas album trilogy get shipped out. I know you got yours coming. Forget those Titans. 😆 Good to see you’re doing these videos again, buddy. The channel was too quiet for the longest time. Welcome back.

Better Than Ezra - is still only an RSD First - - so it will be released down the road - no worries of FOMO

I was all about picking up Better than Ezra, until I saw the price. I can keep streaming it.
