Vinyl - worth having?

RichieBoy · 11 Jun 2004, 03:16

There is a local record store that sells second hand vinyl, browsing through found a few Meat Loaf pieces, did buy a couple actually the bat 1 12 inch and dead ringer 45 and a double 45 of the '83 British tour. Although they're very good and play well.

Are they worth keeping as collectors items perhaps not now but in the future? And another when do you think CD albums will actually be proper collector's items???? Wouldn't sell any of my collection but just curious .

Cheers Rich.

actually now that i think about it, new canadian rocker Sam Roberts, released a CD i believe it was, it was called Northstar, he only made 100 copies of it, now that's rare

I'm not sure if any of the Meats vinyl releases will ever be true collectors items to anyone except a Meat fan in the way that the first pressing that say The Beatles White Album or an early Elvis release are; that is, they are highly valuable to people who collect records generally rather than people who collect a specific artists basck catalogue.

But then again, it's you collecting them isn't it? To me and my record collection all ofmeats releases be they on vinyl, cassette tape, reel to reel tape, cd, mini-disc or any other form of recording media are collectible and I'll pay what I think is a fair price to obtain them, as I' msure others who only collect Meat Loaf recordings would. I've certainly paid over the odds prices for oen or two Meaty CDs in the past!
