作者在書的開頭解釋書中用的Abbreviation(英文縮寫) ,其中在表示唱片價格如下
-$ & $ + = Reference Price from 15-30 & 30-50 Usd
-$$ & $$ + = Reference Price from 50-75 & 75-100 Usd
-$$$ & $$$ + = Reference Price from 100-170 & 170-200 Usd
-$$$$ = Reference Price from 200-300 Usd
-$$$$$ = Reference Price from 300 Usd & Very expensive
以下這一段話:
There are more and more vinyl
collectors , so the prices is climbing every year . Prices also depend on
the different conditions and
pressings of the records .
Some are higher because they are
newer ; some are lower because they are older or simply came from good
luck of online bidding The prices are only for readers ' reference .
讓我感覺投資唱片比投資硬體有價值。1950-1980類比音樂產業的輝煌年代一逝不復返,不可能再複製。唯一見證那個年代的是一張一張老唱片。
Compact Disk (CD)唱片雖然光鮮亮麗、播放時間又長、播放又方便,放個二、三十年,內部塗層氧化或鍍層脫落,就壞掉了。還比不過保存得好,沒有變形的黑膠唱片。
當然個人無意比較兩種載體熟優熟劣,現在也有很多人收藏CD 。
不管收藏的是哪種載體,只要是好演出、好錄音⋯⋯都值得收藏、投資。所以我個人覺得:在吾人有限的預算下投資軟體唱片會比投資硬體有價值。
