So its not even like they all sell out either. I'm getting increasingly pissed off about the price of 12" singles- including p&p a single is now close to £20.

I won't pay more than $20 for an album, and even at that price I will only fork it over if the shop had to get it from Europe. I know my local indie shop has been getting reamed on shipping lately. Singles have become even more of a rip off.

They aren't getting the sell on off Discogs or are they?drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704562197692201471.post-14532046955919037312017-09-15T17:58:31.578+01:002017-09-15T17:58:31.578+01:00Its almost like having lost a load of revenue to d...Its almost like having lost a load of revenue to downloads and streaming the music industry have created the vinyl renaissance to scoop some money back in.
