    or --

    what is now that will be considered in the world of 10 years from now?

    All of George Michael's exile period unreleased joints.

    Oil prices will be outrageous, so pressing vinyl up will be $$$
    reissues or bootlegs of rare albums that seem available and easily obtainable now will command $$$.
    private press jerhi-curl raers will be worth a turd.

    all strutters' releases will be mega $!

    Does that mean they're terdly now? In the greater sense, though, I could see that. I'm thinking mid-tempo breaks will be big once Becky and Chad realize they're funky, you can dance to them, and DJs can mix them effectively. So all those Funk Weapons, Fort Knox Five, MPM records that are pressed in relatively small runs will be that raer.



    Or skiffle breaks. Mad skiffle breaks for days. Gon' be huge.

    Lesbian folk and yacht-rock...

    That's right, in 2017 the Numero Group is probably gonna put out an album called Eccentric Folk: The Best Of Olivia Records. And old elpees by Player, Nicolette Larson and the Sanford-Townsend Band are gonna shoot up to $10-12 bucks.

    Damn - that's a 1000-1200% increase! Time to stock up, y'all. Pickwick hath seen the future, and the future ain't really into dudes, unless they're of the chest-hair sporting, nautical variety.

    german polka will def surge again...

    Again? That shit never left - it just went underground. Old Germanic headz know the deal. But the recent crop of polka/rap crossover bands?

    I'm surprised that obscure yacht-rock isn't a hot thing right now. Anyone wanna divulge their private press yacht rock raers? Or are you keeping it hush hush until the moment is right?

    I thought for sure it was gonna spread like the Hong Kong flu just recently when America released a comeback album that had a gang of indie-rockers guesting on it. There was a buzz for a MINUTE...and that was the last I heard of it. So in the meantime, all them Pablo Cruise LP's are going back to the used 99-cent bin.

    However, here's one single you might wanna look out for, if white soul and Fender Rhodes pianos are your thing: "Ain't Nothing Wrong" by Paul Revere & the Raiders on the Drive label (yeah, the TK subsidiary). Not the garage/psych/bubblegum of their sixties hits, hell no - by now it was 1976 and they were trying to make a comeback any way they could, with the sound of the time. And if this were released under another name besides "...the Raiders," you'd definitely consider this a lost yacht classic.

    pretty much anything that you fuckers haven't hoarded up already.

    Lost pirate ship classic?

    Independent label hip-hop releases from the late 90s/early 00s. There is a whole generation that grew up with these records being "classic albums".

    I really have no idea what the world of records will be like in 10 years. I honestly could see it going either way, there being more people buying vinyl or next to no one. Hopefully some of the old smelly collector types will retire though. All I know is I'll still be doing it.

    Nothing. Most vinyl records will go the way of the 78 rpm, Doo Wop, cassettes, and even CDs.

    I think we as record freaks will bathe in our own soiled soot sahts.

    People will be trading iPod's, saying "I got RAER Color Me Badd. CMB, no one can FUCK WITH ME."

    As long as that forthcoming Scarlett Johansson album is coming out on vinyl, I'm alright.

    Nah, in truth, if I am to take a serious look at the future, I feel that the entire discographies of Helen Reddy and Anne Murray will be hugely popular.

    Dumb people will still be spending way too much on totally gay records, which will cause 20 year old college dudes to grip all over them, and cynical people will continue to bitch about it on the internet and in private phone conversations.

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    because you gotta look at who will be wanting records in ten years. Mad hipsters are gonna be like: "I remember when I sold that record so I could take a roadtrip to Deleuth and find ironic tshirts. I'll give you $50 for it." Then other people with more money will want them. Put your Yo-La-Tengo's and and your Karate's in the freezer ya'll.

    Early nineties house, techno and drum and bass will influence dance music then, like 80s electro-synth-funk influences dance today.

    New Jack Swing. Canonical knows the deal.

    90's Indie Rock is already selling for very good money... and a lot of it was genuinely hard to find within a couple years of it's release.

    CDs

    SERIOUS QUESTION.

    Is there any difference in sound between say Common "Resurrection" CD released in 90s as opposed to rerelease? My guess is no.

    So how would CDs be valueable?

    If its' something relatively rare that no one bought and subsequently went out of print. Just like vinyl.

    You used the wrong example, as Common has enough of a following that his albums are probably going to be available for quite some time.

    I can definitely imagine a world where CDs are out of print. some people are already releasing music on mini USB-drives.
