Jason Tate: "Yes, vinyl prices are going up. No, I don't feel bad."


Recommended Posts

I think the conversation has turned interesting in talking about the vinyl hype/bubble. I feel like unlike Pokemon/baseball cards and Beanie Babies I don't think the burst will be as dramatic(unless we are talking about the literal thousands of Blink 182 records) because with the music there is a use for it, where people simply outgrew Pokemon(and tons of cards were made flooding the market).

 

I remember back in the day when I used to buy Pokemon and Yugioh cards. I wasted hundreds of mine and my parents money on those, only to be thrown away later. Those were the good times.

Can we sum up the average AP.net user by reading their positive responses to this absolutely cringe worthy music video?

I want the minute of my life that I spent watching that back. What the shit kind of awful noise was that?

Labels will only charge what they know they can sell for, be it $12 or $40. As far as profit margins on a particular record, that will come back to what said label is seeking to achieve in accordance with their business model - obviously some like No Idea will come in at the lower end, others like SRC, MoV will be at the higher end. At the end of the day, a lot of it goes back to the ethics of the company.

 

If you don't like what a particular company is doing, don't buy their product, but it doesn't help anyone to bitch endlessly about SRC charging an excessive price for a JEW reissue and then going and buying it anyway. In doing so, you're only sending the message to the label (and the industry) that it's okay to charge those kinds of prices, and they will continue to push prices higher until you vote with your wallet.

...and this is the band that sold hundreds of albums in literal minutes? Yikes. Absolute garbage.

I've never considered 12 year olds a rival. They are simply different sites. We are headed by a shadowy company that is responsible for pushing up the price of vinyl exponentially and AP is headed by the guy that promotes it. Honestly, whats worse? Whats the real difference? We are here keeping the main promotions wing of SRC relevant and popular. Pot meet kettle. We need Terrible Vacation.

Well guys we did it. He wrote a second blog because of us. Apparently this thread only had one post contributing to the discussion.

Ugh. Can this just end?

 

(I know the answer is no, because he lives for this type of argument.)
