First CD's I bought in 1984 were $22 each. I bought 10, plus my first CD player, a Sony CDP-200 for $450. I was severely price-gouged but was in hog heaven and I didn't care, and I never looked back. I have zero desire to pay $20-50 for new LP's. I prefer owning music I love rather than renting it, so streaming remains little more than the new FM for me.
The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
Back just before CD's, Albums were usually around $6-8.00, cutout less, double albums a bit more. When CD's first came out they were 'premium' items and cost $10-15.00, slowly the prices for CD's came down and records slowly all went down to a buck or two then disappeared. Now it's reversed, CD's are a few bucks, new Albums are usually around $15 to 25.00. (I didn't figure out the inflation rate, someone else can add that in) . And those cutouts can now be worth a small fortune. I just thought this reversal was interesting. Of course with Streaming, music of any quality is very cheap.
