no i think there are really not so many reasons to press a gescom cd. i believe many people think the same way i do about vinyl. i think people who don't have turntables don't really need to hear the music, it is not designed for them. music changes completely when it's pressed on a cd. it loses the warm, original sound of vinyl recordings and becomes a consumer product. for me, the 'personality' of vinyl 12"'s is an important part of the music and the product. cd's are for people who don't really care about music, they're for people who buy their music from department stores.. buy a turntable! np: vulva - blue phonkians Sire One Coupe Devil Graphics
