Yes, accounting for inflation is important...but in my head, gas should still be 33 cents per gallon too! :)When I purchased records back in the day, they were the cheapest and best alternative. These days, they are not the cheapest, and the other options (CD or SACD for me) actually sound pretty darn good, and can be a lot cheaper than new vinyl.

Then your head wouldn't like it here. The equivalent average price of a US
gallon of regular petrol is $5.55.
Agreed with what you say about CD. I have come to think that it is a far
better medium than the detractors would have it. Good vinyl still trumps it
but I mean only GOOD vinyl.
I never understood why Americans complained about the price of gasoline; I've in Europe and in Asia...always a lot more there than in the U.S.
One never knows what the quality of the vinyl will be; CDs tend to be more consistent in quality, though one certainly cannot predict the amount of compression or a poor recording. I've heard of some very expensive vinyl purchases on this site (180gm, or 45 rpm mastered etc.) that were evaluated as being poor in quality--that's unfortunate.
