I plan to put out my collection of about 1200 LPs in my shop,  
eventually - and see who will bite at $20+ prices.

I can pretty much get many familiar tunes and albums on Spotify  
- even one of the Spotnicks one I got back in pre-1973 - and  
access them anyway I like: laptop, phone hooked up to AUX in  
the truck, or via AUX on a small but pretty good stereo
amplifier.  Spotify is $11.99/mo now, that's far less than I  
would normally spend in a year on physical music.  Spotify an  
play downloaded-songs offline too, which is ideal in the truck.

The Spotnicks album that I was pleasantly surprised to see on  
Spotify is "In Spain 1963".

It was one of the first albums that did some really cool stereo  
separation/spacial things with the various instruments.

"The Spotnicks were an instrumental rock group from Sweden that  
formed in 1961. They were known for wearing "space suit"  
costumes on stage and for their innovative electronic guitar  
sound. They released 43 albums"

I took very good care of my copy.  So.. $20+ should be  
reasonable.
