i'm not real worried right now about cd's driving vinyl out of
circulation simply because you can't get what you need on cds.. even
when a track you want to use IS available on cd it's rather hard to find
in most cases, here at least..
and don't bring up compilations because a) the majority of the music on
compilations is old by the time the comp is released, b) compilation
companies invariably put on the wrong mix or the mix i won't use, c) comp
companies also usually put on only one song from any specific 12" but the
most impressive/useful stuff is often the "other" mixes, the less obvious
ones..
i *have* used both vinyl and cds and i *do* think it is easier to spin
with cds, but the music is just not on cd yet, at least not where i am..
when it becomes easier to find stuff on cd than on vinyl, that's when
you'll see people switching over in droves, but we're a long way away
from that right now..
