I've done this exercise recently. If you take what we were paying for records back in the early/mid 70's and correct for RPI (because it is the only measure from back then), they are the same price in real terms as they were 50 years ago.

And they are much better pressing quality now than they were post 1973 oil crisis, when surplus vinyl was chopped up (including the label) and reused - so records came with pre-installed pops and clicks.
