[78-L] Cost of buying records over time

[bradc944 at comcast.net]

Mike from Plovdiv sent me a note offline about original UK prices of the G&S Trial by Jury set I posted on 78rpmcommunity... granted this would have been in the 1920s/1930s, if you want I can re-paste...

Subject: [78-L] Cost of buying records over time

A colleague has asked for a general idea of the cost of records going as far 
back as possible. I know we all have catalogs and we all cite the $7 Victors 
that people took as their freebees, but can we get a general idea per decade? 
As to cylinders, I know nothing.
