Just a left over reaction really from vinyl purist days. Obviously both
formats are quite 'collectable', but in this day vinyl formats of
releases (especially older ones) are usually the harder to get in
comparison to the amount of CD reissues, therefore they have a more
'collection' value to me. Pointing to say David Axelrod LP's are more
desirable to collection whereas the CD reissues are readily available. I
like big artwork. Packaging is as important to me as what's inside. It's
why I can't be bothered to download music. I can't think of anything I've
wanted to own that I havn't been able to locate eventually....
Really I've got nothing against CD's...I've got thousands of them, but
when I look at the thousands of records at my house it gives me the more
geek rush of the two. Yes, I know...very sad, but it gets me through the
day.
