Paducah Home Theater Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So I thought I'd start this old school vinyl two channel setup in my living room, possibly with a couple of Heresy's but not sure yet. Anyway, just started shopping for my favorite 90's albums... $475 for one Tool album???? !! ?? Is this the norm? Goodness. http://www.amazon.com/Aenima-Tool/dp/B00000099X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That has to be a misprint. You could by the Smokey Robinson album for $5.29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 yeap... that's how much some LP's might cost. I just got Radioheads In Rainbows Boxed set... 45rpm and CD set, usually it runs about 100-200$. sometimes you might get lucky and find it for less. you could get the normal release for $17 though. Trying to get the Inception soundtrack... normally runs for between $250-600, Fire Come Walk with Me soundtrack... between $200-400, The Dark Knight soundtrack... between $125-175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2toobs Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 A lot of 90's vinyl is spendy as hell. They didn't produce very much at all, due to low demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think the MOST I have spent on an LP is a little over $300 for Neil Young's Deadman soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 $475?? Man. To be fair, we are shopping for different stuff. The range I pay for VG+ or better from well rated sellers on ebay or a-gon is usually between 5 and 20 or so bucks plus shipping. You are looking for new vinyl with an apparently high demand factor. Most of what I'm after is vintage and outside the rock genre. In any event, I'd keep shopping!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdog Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I found a trashed copy of that album for $10.00 at a used record store. It is so scratched that it is unlistenable but I can tell that a pristine copy would truly kill the slightly compressed CD version. A NM copy might be worth $150 to me if I was in the right mood. It is one of my favorite records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I've had that Tool record since it was first released. I think I paid 20.00 for it. Maybe I should add it to my retirement portfolio. Shakey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdog Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Those LPs listed as new on Amazon are likely bootlegs pressed from CD files of which there were many a few years ago. Any real ones are long since opened. The used one for $600 is probably the only real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I love Tool's weird time signatures. Vicarious is one of my favorites because of this. Anyway, rock on kiddies. I've never seen a drummer that young who can keep up with Tool material in a proper way. The kick drums alone at 4:30 leaves most adults in the dust. Just lots of weird stuff going on. Edited November 25, 2014 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 For LP's try discogs.com I've had much better luck over the years then eBay..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 For LP's try discogs.com I've had much better luck over the years then eBay..... For rare records at great prices dicogs.com is THE site. I love it. I buy reissues and new vinyl between $12-$30. The high end are sometimes double lp releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) On our local vinyl market it can happen that some guys quickly buy all reissues of rare LPs released in small numbers, just to be able to resell it soon at much higher prices.

Reminds me of the Geico commercial at the art auction where he gets the winning bid but then tries to sell it as soon as the applause dies down.
