Why do I have to pay £150,00-£200,00 for Exai vinyl on discogs or ebay?

[o00o]

why are old releases like Draft for £25 GBP on repress but I have to pay £150,00 on discogs to buy a vinyl copy of Exai? Is it possible to get this repressed as well? @Sean Ae

I mean, you answered your own question. I can go to my local record store today and pick up the repress of Draft, but I can't do that for Exai...

Add on the fact that Exai is a 4x vinyl box set. It's simple supply and demand

I just wonder like Oversteps, Quaristice and Exai are very important releases and Oversteps and Quaristice also start at 100+

Most of the Ae records cost like £90-100 after a few years of being out of print. Confield and Draft were going for that much last year.

As for getting represses of Untilted onwards, who knows? Probably - but I'd expect it will be quite a long time before they get to Exai.

Poor old Squarepusher fans still waiting for their vinyl reissue program to get past the first album.

If Warp used discogs price as a guide for represses, SAW2 and Drukqs are surely due - they go for silly money these days.

It's unlikely but a repress of the Garbage EP would be nice too, £100 for a 12" is pretty fierce.

wow. gonna have to get my ae vinyl insured.

someone asked them in an interview about various tracks "33 or 45?"  and they refused to answer

Autechre's first album Incunabula was released 30 years ago today.

The answer to the question

"do I have to pay £150,00-£200,00 for Exai vinyl on discogs or ebay?"

is

"No, you don't have to pay £150,00-£200,00 for Exai vinyl on discogs or ebay".

by the time they do reissues the price is probably going to be $70 for a new copy anyway (before shipping/whatever else). vinyl is a luxury item.

[taphead]

This was intended by Autechre, as a way of discouraging people from listening to it on vinyl, because it's digital music

Yeah, I'm slowly getting used to the fact that by now most new records end up at 40-50-60 Euros with shipping and VAT. More for double albums. 

Exai was 41.60 USD shipped from Amazon new, which was relatively much back in 2013.

Digital vinyls are cheap. Forget about those physical slabs of fossil garbage.

i believe it…CD prices have started creeping up too, even digital prices for that matter…but it seems vinyl has become the premium format for music collectors, whether they’re Autechre fans or Taylor Swift fans. it’s just a high dollar thing now, so it’s going to be pricey and getting pricier. the used market might reset tho, lots of people are sick of the discogs effect, but it ain’t gonna be a sharp drop or nothing even if.
