Doug,No offense intended........you're talking about POP/ROCK.... 20th century folk music essentially. Do you really think anybody will be purchasing various copies of DSOTM 75 years from now??
On the other hand, I suspect people living 75 years from now, WILL be purchasing Beethoven Symphonies on vinyl.

I think that is a very large leap. There will be technologies unimagined commonly in place by then. I've personally witnessed the Beatles, transistors, and computers arriving. I had a Sherwood tuner that had 'ALL SILICON' on the fascia.But, it is a *fascinating question to ponder...
Look how slow broadcast television has mutated vs. consumer audio. We may scorn MP-3s, but anyone who doesn't recognize the design and engineering brilliance in an i-pod is out of touch. You can't DIY an i-pod like a silly power cord.
You mean it wasn't invented by DG?Dop the dates ever match up so you can compare the phillips mono to a columbia blue label?

Wow, that is a rarity. Not the same as the one I was given (uncle).
Columbia records USA had a distribution agreement with Philips for a number of years. This cool gatefold of the 1st and 6th mono cycle is french-Philips!!I have the US copy like yours, but I went for a mono copy.....I already had the Philips stereo.
why are you doing Scripture? For yourself or for others' benefit? I love that, too. Can't post much more or I will be removed.I love your system. What did you do with the Nakamichi BX?
Do you live in a big city? Or where did you get all those Walter LP's? My 6th and a 4/5 are 6 eyes, with the latter an ebay estate sale which has scratches. I recently acquired his LP rehearsing the 5th symphony with Columbia Symph. Orchestra, and it's great. Much more vigorous than the studio recorded 4/5 final product.
None taken.
By far and away the most expensive vinyl in my collection is classical music---easily spent more on great pressings of classical box sets and so forth than I ever have for Rock. However, with that said, beautiful music will always be worth something as well as music that changes a generation, Charlie Parker for instance.As far as DSOTM goes, well, I wouldn't spend $1300 on a UHQR copy, but people seem to be doing it regularly on ebay. the prices never go down---beats me
I figure when I'm dead the 4,000+ albums might bring $1000.00, that's $0.25/each. Only a real collector will know what's good in there and what isn't. It makes me sick, but I'm not in it for the money, thankfully.
