We at Sid Buck Records like to share not only the history of reggae and its contributors like Sid Bucknor but also present business opportunities from time to time to collectors and investors.
For example vinyl was a thing of the past that got replaced with CD’s and then digital albums. However, those reggae lovers and collectors could not get enough of the warm sound from a vinyl, that slight cracking the depth of the sound etc. Vinyl resurged into popularity with COVID and artists’ inability to have concerts, the demand for vinyl pressing was driven by big stars and indie artists followed suit.
Reggae on the other hand has never strayed far from vinyl and the collectors have always been loyal. When Sid Buck Records was launched last year our discovery of the works of Sid Bucknor on Discog blew our mind. Many of his vintage vinyl recordings like his own Dub creation “Dub Sensation” is sought after by almost 174 people and the last one sold for $670 in 2020.
Well if you are a collector of this particular vinyl then you are in luck Sid Buck Records will be re-releasing the original “Dub Sensation” very soon.
Investing in vintage reggae vinyl collections can be a unique and interesting way to diversify your investment portfolio. Here are some points to consider when thinking about reggae vinyl records as an investment:
Historical appreciation: Like other collectibles, some vintage reggae vinyl records have appreciated in value over time. Records from influential artists or rare releases can fetch high prices, especially if they’re in excellent condition.
Niche market: The reggae vinyl market is relatively small compared to other types of music, which can make it a niche investment opportunity. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage – on the one hand, it means there may be less competition for certain records. On the other hand, it also means that the market may be less liquid, with fewer buyers and sellers.
Condition is key: The condition of a vinyl record can have a significant impact on its value. Records that are in excellent condition, with no scratches or other damage, will typically command higher prices than those that are worn or damaged.
Research is important: As with any investment, it’s important to do your research before buying vintage reggae vinyl records. Look for records from well-known artists or labels, and consider factors like rarity, condition, and historical significance. It’s also a good idea to consult with a reputable dealer or appraiser to help you identify valuable records and determine their market value.
We hope that you will add Sid Bucknor’s work to your collection !!
