Around 1969 to 1970 era Boston shopping for records at either the Children's Inn or Harvard Square COOP, prices were generally $3.99 for first pressing standard issue, single vinyl, no gatefold, such as Disraeli Gears, Are You Experienced, Led Zeppelin I. Gatefold issues or Beatles as I recall were $4.99. Double albums were usually $7.99, a huge amount of money for me as a school boy but I still have many of these and now they are worth at least as much because I took so good care of them, despite hundreds of plays with a "magnetic" cartridge.
