How much does XY LP / CD cost? (2012)

Post by CloudsOfMetal »

So I was curious about the price of Black Hole - Living Mask CD. I've rarely seen it for sale anywhere. Therefore it must be already pretty rare even though it was released in 2000.

I suggest you go for the vinyl then, it's much cheaper, and has bigger cover! And better sound too than shitty CD's.

I have that CD and I don't like it at all. Someone is interested in trading with me so I needed to know what a fair deal would be.

Even on vinyl version the album is probably a complete crap anyway :lol:

Yep, get a lp, all those extra cracks and pops really sound amazing compared to the horrible clean sound of the cd :roll:
I like records, but people that hate cds but like lps and cassettes are crazy.
Records are nice but if you get a scratched up one theres no way it sounds better then a cd, and its too pricey most of the time to get a mint or new record from 20+ years ago.
And that violent playground cd is nothing special, pretty mediocre mix of blues and thrash. I saw it on amazon for $38 before but didn't buy it.

Well, the truth is in the middle ... I mean, we all know that almost all "early" cds had really bad mastering compared to the identic label vinyl release ... but also it's true that the cracks and pops and so on makes a 20/25 years old vinyl a bad thing to buy nowadays, unless it's perfect/mint/sealed (which is a really hard thing to come by). Oh yes, and if you are a vinyl worshipper too :)

Buying a sealed vinyl doesn't mean it plays perfectly. If you're lucky the record is totally warped like the majority of the Dark Knight MLP's and even completely new records can play terrible sometimes with alot of jumps.
And the cracks just make it sound Metal. That's underground! :twisted:

How much cost OBLIVEON - Nemesis (original private press from 1993) ? I just tracked down one guy who ran Metal Fanzine in early 90s and have a chance to get this CD very cheap.

BUT that "perfect/mint/sealed" is a lie because if it's sealed how will you know that the record isn't damaged, the insert isn't damaged or the record isn't warped unless the seller is one of those who sealed his records himself. I've bought a Buxx "Knickers down" once, sealed, the record was totally damaged (like someone has stored it upon a radiator - I've NEVER seen something like that before). Just a few weeks ago I got a sealed record with perfectly looking cover, the insert was kinda worn (not extremely but compared to the sleeve it looked a bit damaged). You never know what you'll get. And well some old CD's do not play on each CD player either eventhough they do look like new.

I wouldn't call it a "lie" :P we can add a 4th element: LUCK ! :?
