How much did a music tapes cost in 1985?

Answer 1

At least on the billboards, this dollarpalooza has everything that the Broadway musical had, along with Eastman Color, famous names, and a technique called Todd-AO-a brand-new, giant-screen process all its own. Oklahoma! will run at advanced prices (from $1.50 to $3.50) in 50 cities from coast to coast before it is distributed through regular channels.

Answer 2

Type your answer here... To the best of my recollection, a typical VHS tape in the mid 1980's cost around $69.95 to $79.95, depending upon the title. In those days, most people didn't actually BUY VHS tapes, they rented them. The VHS stores bought them for that price and then rented them out enough times to pay for each copy of the tape and hopefully make some profit along the way. I won a radio contest in the mid to late 1980's (I don't remember now exactly which year) and the prize was six brand new VHS tapes from one of the local VHS rental stores. Once I had picked out the titles that I wanted, I asked the store clerk how much these tapes were worth. That's when he told me that the store's cost for them was in the price range mentioned above. I would assume that if someone wanted to actually purchase a VHS title during that time period, the retail cost would most likely have been at least $100.00 (since the video store would obviously want to make a profit on the sale). It wasn't until sometime in the very late 1980's or early 1990's that the retail cost of a VHS tape became cheap enough that the average person could afford to buy them in lieu of renting.
