I find myself purchasing more vinyl albums lately, but these new releases appear to be issued on coloured vinyl and priced around $29 to $49, at least here in Canada. A few years back, when many music fans were getting rid of their hard copy compact discs, and downloading music, I started snapping up these discarded CD's at thrift stores. Here in Vancouver, Canada, the going price is only $1.99 at Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul's etc., although the Value Village chain is now charging up to $7.99 or more for what they think are "collectible." Many people must have cleared out their collections during the initial COVID period, as that was when many great titles were available. Nowadays, the selection has thinned out greatly. I have amassed SO many CD's [thousands), frankly I need another lifetime or two to listen to them all more than once. LOL! However, I predict the day will come down the road, these silver platters will one day make a major come
back. In my mind, there is NO such thing as "old music," just "good music" waiting patiently to be rediscovered by a new generation. I do occasionally find classic MOTOWN titles, but Jazz titles, especially female vocalists and compilations seem to be more common.
