The jazz thread was where I first started posting in the music forums. Great bunch of guys over there. But damn, Jazz vinyl is expensive. Cd's too. Had to slow down. Now I think I'm a whole different boat. Here's to you guys
I hear you on that. In case you hadn't noticed I stopped posting on the Jazz thread. It was for exactly that reason. Too much temptation...
Was wondering why you guys stopped posting in the jazz thread. You both where posting great stuff. Is jazz really that expensive ? To me it's cheaper than other genres but can get expensive. I have a limit of about 15-20 per record. If it where more than that it would have to be quite special. The most I have paid for one record is 40 for my two Music Matters pressings. (40 each) Most jazz and any other records I buy are less than 10. I don't really seek out original or early pressings. I mainly pay attention to whats on the album and it's condition. But if one is going for early pressings and originals I can see it getting that way. Especially these days.
CD's range from a dollar to 10-15 for new if it's something I really want. I try not to spend more than 50-100 each month.
