I think this is more about making as much money as possible from a small run, its a shame really. vinyl is more in demand and this should lower the costs with higher runs, it looks like discogs is controlling the market at the moment. personally i think 15 euro's for a single vinyl (DoubleR) with two tracks on it is beyond ridiculous, and thats from someone thats not a student, with a half decent wage.
I think it is both, the Labels and the Shops, ... Deejay.de has rise the price for some records i ordered in presale 2 times about 1-2 € in the last time. And yeah, i saw the new Double R record too, 18,- € at deejay.de. Also the Prospector release was about 18,- €.
And it goes cheaper like you can read in the Thread about the forthcomig Lespoints Release here ...
