Vinyl prices are in line with inflation. Some records are not too expensive and I buy used records a lot, which can greatly vary, but overall not too too bad.

Yea for the most part I don't complain about prices as they are inline with inflation. As a kid/teen I was paying $5.99-7.99 for records, I think last I checked that's about $28-30 today. For sure used prices have gone up, but you just have to be selective and especially the grading. 
If I buy from Discogs I only search for NM and always offer less, and hope I get a VG++, I've been pretty lucky no duds so far.....

I buy a lot from Ken, his prices are very reasonable.....The new SW release was only $30 from him, of course add in all the shipping charges, tax and it becomes a $45 buy but the record price itself was more than reasonable.

I agree prices have gotten a bit much. I have about 900 records, I have more but not what I call "what I listen to". Even then about 700 is my number........Regardless, my point is for me I am being very selective in what I have been buying the past 2-3 years. 
I bought the Analogue Productions 75th of SEBTP, unfortunately my copy is not what everyone else is drooling about. That issue had some issues, and I think I got a bad one that Chris Bellman cut, my 2008 Nick Davis version is better to my ears. I do enjoy the AP version but its just ok, it still is a wonderful listen.

I bought the Yes~Fragile AP 75th and that one is spectacular!!! I also still have my OG '72 US issue that is cut by George Piros PORKY press and is a -AAA/-AAA and is amazing, the new one cut by Kevin Gray is outstanding and IMO well worth the $60.00, just remember these are cut at 45RPM to increase the sound quality. Unfortunately the CTTE version is also 45RPM but I won't get it as CTTE should not be cut into 2 parts....Blasphemy LOL.

What I will not buy are the MoFi issues since now we all know those are cut from a digital file, albeit a DSD file copy of the master tapes but I'm not paying $150.00 for those when the AP ones are all cut from the original master tapes or best source tapes so they are all AAA.

I have read that Nursery Cryme is the cats meow! I have an OG UK Charisma and the Nick Davis 2009 reissue so I'm all set....

The best value for records continues to be the current BlueNote releases (If you are into jazz and specifically hard bop era), on sale they can go for $20 which is crazy good for an all analog record cut from the original Rudy Van Gelder session tapes, they all sound amazing.

I just saw the notice about 50th Red anniversary notice.....We will see, I have the 2013 reissue cut from original masters approved by Fripp (not sure that means much LOL). Sounds pretty good so I may just pass on the 50th.

A friend gifted me Rick Astley's "Whenever You Need Somebody" as a joke gift. It's a type a great record. I'll probably end up getting a copy of Red's 50th anniversary edition eventually. Great album.

I had decided to stop buying LP's but then this offer appeared...so, off the wagon I go.
Got this lot for $100 CND cash (<$5ea.)
The two Byrds LP's are still sealed and most others appear VG+ or better.
But listening will tell.

Once again, NOT vinyl LP's, but CD's. Something I actually rarely buy. But for some reason I've done it twice in the last week or two.
One another note I DO have a pile of new (used) LP's on their way. So stand by.
In the mean time...

Extremely happy to have this seminal recording by Sonny Rollins from BlueNote Records as a TonePoet version. The first ever live recording at the Village Vanguard in NYC in 1957 as well Sonny's first live record. 
The interesting bit on this recording is Rudy Van Gelder recorded at 7.5ips due to this being a live session, he did not bring his traditional studio deck that could record at 15ips, physically not possible. He then went back to his studio and transferred the session to 15ips tape and this is what was always used to create the original LP release and subsequent CDs and other LP issues. Until this one, which is cut from the original 7.5ips master tapes, the only time these were played before was the original transfer.

Comparing to a CD version I have, this version has so much presence and additional detail/resolution the soundstage is so real its kinda spooky. Kevin Gray cut the lacquers, all analog no EQ or compression added to Rudy's original recording. The included booklet is great too with tons of info, photos and an interview of Sonny Rollins by Don Was from last year.
