I think that certain records will always have value, and will always go up in price.
Early Blue Note, original Beatles, original records by any famous band pretty much anything that captures an important cultural moment and is original and authentic and is produced in limited quantities goes up in value.
A lot of people I know are getting into vinyl now, most of them are much younger than me, and they proclaim that analogue is better. I have to hold my tongue in these conversations, because I don't necessarily think that analogue sounds better, and I never liked the glitches and other errors that vinyl produces by nature of the fact that it is an imperfect medium.
Is this a fad or a fashion, maybe so. Maybe it is a desire to plug the vacuum created by the 'everything now' culture of millennials, or a craving for something that is real, has meaning, and has substance in a world where the only value of things is the dollar value the market puts on them. Maybe the millennials are missing the heritage, the importance of respecting traditions and valuing things that are old; values that our parents gave us, and that we took for granted which are almost completely absent in the way kids are rared today. Who knows?
But the trend among millennials to seek out vinyl is a different driver for prices than what I described above. Rare records, will always be rare and will always be valuable. The laws of supply and demand ensure that.
