At what age "on average" do most musicians get record deals?

It depends on the ability of the musician, confidence of the musician, marketability of the musician.  Many factors.  The best advice would be to keep playing and to go play at venues: bars; clubs; schools; mansions; etc.\nGood Luck

Most DJ's are paid a low rate.  Audio producers get paid slightly more for their talents.  The real money is in sales though.  While a DJ drives around in a beat up used car that is between 10 and 20 years old the salepeople drive around in brand new Lincoln Town Cars and great big SUV's.  It sucks but that's the way it works.  And yes, the money comes from advertising.  As for the artists which are played, every radio station pays the record companies based on how many times a day the song is played.  If the station has a webcast they have to pay twice.

I would say the average is probably around 20-30. If you look closely at the questions, there are a lot of eclectic topics which you know aren’t being asked by 12 year olds, like “What form of exempts can I get on my W-2?” But there are plenty of older audiences out there too. So really every age seems to be here - just the 20-30 are the most prominent.

Probably not much, especially if it is not in pristine condition.  Try selling it on eBay with a minimum bid required.  Vinyl doesn't fetch top-dollar unless it is a rare issue.

My 5 year old son is collecting them but still needs mountains of them! Poor kid...\nI saw on Ebay UK that full albums from Italia 90 are going for around 45 pounds.

About  ten to twelve. They wouldn't ever want to fill up a CD. Better to make two CD's with the same number of songs & rake in more money.

For a major label, it's about less than a dollar, because they make the actual CD in thousands so they get a discount. And the note he made about small number of musicians make money off their music is true in a concept. Commonly now a days, if you sell 500,000 albums you'll make a profit, especially if you are rapper.

I too, have many old lps.  I have gone to e-bay just to see if there is a market for them.  I followed a few listed lps for about 2 wks.  :(  There is not much of a market.  So, there is little value unless they are extremely rare.  G-luck.

Depends on the year and condition it's in. 1983 isn't really considered that old to collectors.

elvis.........many uncredited sales, literally hundreds of recycled albums put him top closely followed by the beatles in terms of sheer volumes sold. \n\nIn the fifties, still post war, rationing era; singles and EPs sold as the teenagers could not afford long players. As a result, many rashly put together albums were released, with several a year by Elvis for example. This explains why artists like Sinatra and soundtracks like Oklahoma or West Side Story or The King and I spent months/years at the top of the charts. It changed in 63/64 with artists like the Beatles and Dylan as albums became more accesible to teenagers with more disposable income\n\nCreatively, its relative.\n\nNow its completely different where an album is the mainstay of an  aritist. A complete shift in buying as sales figures clearly show. \n\nIn terms of a body of work, Pink Floyd, Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Marley and Marvin Gaye would be up there in my opinion.
