It looks like the Taylor Swift release is probably going to be sold for $40-$50 and with a run of 115,000 it shouldn't be that hard to get (famous last words)?

MSRP is $39.99, though distribution cost is almost $32, so I'm sure some shops will shoot for $45 - $50.  

 

I help a friend at his store, he sent me the distributor lists today to make my selections.  The prices are out of control.  Distributor cost and MSRP are a joke.  I can understand why shops wouldn't participate.  I expect a lot of leftover inventory on most titles and post RSD online prices weeks later to be the way to go.

I want the VH record too, but MSRP is $99.99 which is insane.

I work for two record labels and I see the cost of pressing records. Realistically, they’re spending $50-$60 per copy (maybe a little more if it’s in a nice box and not a quad gatefold). I can’t remember how much they charged for the 3xLP live box set with Roth, but I think that it was similar and this one is actually good. I love Roth-era Halen, but the live show wasn’t Roth’s strong suit.

So this brand new 4LP release in a nice jacket is being sold for a loss? https://younggodrecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/soundtracks-2018
