Original Record Prices:
 How Much Did Records Cost in the 60s and 70s?
 An inquiry about the original prices of records in the 1960s and 1970s got me to thinking about prices "way back then." Everything was much cheaper back then - gasoline was 35 to 39 cents per gallon in the mid to late 60s; bread was about 25 cents a loaf; 45 records were about $1 each. Stereo LP albums had not been available for very long, but of course, to hear them in stereo, you had to have the latest -- a stereo record player. I bought a very nice portable stereo record player with detachable speakers and a built in clock radio for about $100 in the late 60s. Stereo record albums were about $2 to $3 at that time.
In the early 1970's the prices went up slightly to about $4 an album. Then groups began producing double albums with 2 records in each jacket. Add to that the fact that inflation went into the double digits by the mid to late 70s, and not only did gasoline prices double, but the record albums did, too, most costing between $6 and $10 each. If you wanted to attend a rock concert, the price of tickets went from $3 in the early 1970's to over well $10 by the late 1970's. (Keep in mind that I am pulling these figures strictly from my memory.)
