What did popular LP albums (Dylan, Zeppelin, etc.) cost full retail in 1984 in USA ? In 1988 ? In 1991 ? in 1995 ? (Some stores still sold them in 1995). Talking about NEW only - with NO CUT OUTS or hole punches. Anyone who remembers, thanks for info.
I bought Electric Ladyland- a double LP at my high school bookstore in 1982. I think I paid $12-. Most single LP's were $6.9 or so. Some of the pressings were rather sketchy around that time. I remember buying King Crimson on the EG label and it had a "pop" in it brand new. Zeppelin "In thru the out door was $8.99.
RW, thought it was Eight Jewishk Korean War Veterans. Used to buy my LP's from the Edison store on Rt 1 (maybe Woodbridge?)in NJ. Also from Two Guys From Harrison store in Middletown where I grew up. Most albums were from 3.99 new to 6.99 .
EJ Korvettes was founded by one man who died just this year. I can't remember his name but it wasn't Korvette as I recall. I also bought alblums there as a kid thru early teens and $3.99 sticks out in my mind and more for double alblums. In real prices adjusted for inflation I bet that $5.99 record is now much more than the 20-30 bucks we spend for new tiny productions of records.
