Our Canadian drug store chain, London Drugs, has started stocking vinyl. So far I've seen Wayne Shorter, Pink Floyd, Norah Jones and others, generally in the $20-$30 price range. At the price, I'm guessing the Blue Notes are cheaper pressings.

Most of the records are 180-gm pressings so they are more expensive.
Along with renewed interest in vinyl at London Drugs, they are also starting to bring in better quality audio gear, including Klipsch speakers, and decent Onkyo and Denon electronics.
I would be interested to see if LD can attract a new market into high end audio.
I will buy a few LPs just to support them in this venture.
Locally a used record is $4-10 depending upon quality, rarity, popularity with most being $6-8. A little bit rare or great condition might command $10-15, Unopened old stock is about $15-25. Collectable is ... well ...
New pressings are $12-30 for non-audiophile targeted, audiophile targeted is $30-50. [not to say audio QUALITY is good or bad, just who they are aiming at!]
Best prices I found is Wax Trax in Denver. Prices tend towards $3-4 per disc - most in decent quality. "Special" is $6-8. Never seen anything more expensive than $10 there.
