Back in 1995 I remember being really impressed with
Ninja Tune's prices. The Refried Food double packs
seemed really cheap when they came out. I think there
were some other singles that I also felt that way
about. Same with Xen Cuts!

I don't know if it is a price issue or just the buying
habits of people that only buy cds. Perhaps since I
use to dj and collect records, I don't mind paying
$9.99-10.99 for just a few good tunes.
Even when I have downloaded some mp3s, I'm still very
likely to go buy the release, but usually on vinyl...
not on cd.
For those of you that only buy cds, you should get a
turntable because there are so many great releases
that only come out on vinyl!

Does Vinyl cost more to produce than CDS? I thought
that was the case...maybe I'm wrong.
