Old records Vs new heavy weight records

[makinmusic]

I was curious on getting some opinions on old records Vs new records.

What with all these new records splatter effect individual coloured records limited quantities of this colour of that splatter hitting the market.

Curious to see what others make of the new records.

I have a large collection including first presses of older style records many various genres of music.

Will these new fangled records keep there value, increase in value?

Is the music industry just flooding the market with to many limited edition this and that?

Is this just a ploy to get more money for the same music?

Personally I buy the music to listen to and even if I buy a rare older copy and it's still in the wrapper it gets opened and played almost immediately in most cases.
Some may call me for that but music is meant to be listened to.

I don't tend to buy thinking one day this will be worth a lot and il cash in.

As I can't take them with me my daughter is under strict instructions she can only sell my collection after listening to every single record at the rate I buy them it will probably take her in to retirement age.

What are your thoughts on this?

Weight is irrelevant 140/150/180/200gram, What vinyl formulae is used makes a big difference

I am not massively into coloured records and definitely not into splatter, zoetropic or whatever, so don't have much basis for comparison, but I keep reading how these fancy versions aren't meant to be as good - possibly because of the dyes which need to be added to the vinyl mix?

Anyway, yes, definitely a ploy to get more money out of us fools haha
