I have been purchasing less and less vinyl over the past several years, 100% due to price. I am still a sucker for physical releases though, so my CD collection has been increasing more. I can't justify $25-$40 for a new LP when I can get the CD for $10-$12. Pretty much any LP that I buy new these days is releases that are not available on CD.
 
It also bums me out that 7”s have largely gone away in favor of 12”EP's. Even at the current rate of like $10 for a 7”, I'd rather pay that for 4 songs than $25+ for 4 songs on a 12” with a B-side etching.
 
Still love checking out new bands, new music. 2023 had a lot of great new releases! Probably still spend the same amount on music that I always have, it just goes more to CD's and inexpensive used records.

New Hope Con songs are great!
 
Passing on the record. This should have been a 7”.

It's starting to feel good to say no to these releases.  They've priced me out.  And I'm saving a bunch of money.

The new 16 is up for PO at Relapse - https://store.relapse.com/item/116746
 

Can’t wait for this record!

Nice. Preordered this and Genocide Pact! Thankfully the release dates are close.

I have a copy of that Suffocation record on red vinyl that I would gladly trade for Anal Cunt or Inverloch.

Super stoked with what I got!

Bummed to see deadformat go. Have had a tradelist there from the start. Also scored a lot of good deals in the sale/trade forums in the early days.
 
I like discogs too, but definitely preferred deadformat for browsing a list.

Every Relapse release has 100 copies on clear that are only for the band, label and friends. They typically don't sell them in the webstore.
 
 

I'll pick up a tape if it's a significant cost difference to the LP sometimes too.  An $8 CS vs a $30 LP is a no brainer to me, especially if it's noise or black metal.

Personally I like to flip the dumb shit that idiots will pay double for. Like Space Jam.

One could argue that trading any type of legal tender (even a single penny) for the Space Jam soundtrack is a rip off.

I would say 2 classic albums and 1 good album...
 
but anyway, not often do I find myself reaching for live albums when I can listen to the studio version instead. The couple live songs on Live For Today is enough for me.
 

Bound Bible tape does not disappoint! Now I need to get a copy of the first demo.
 
Also really liked the latest Cremation Lily tape, 'Leisure Scars' on Strange Rules!

Was always one of my favorite artists. Have a print of one of his Frankenstein illustrations hanging in my living room.
