I remember buying the Ninja tune 10yrs of Zen 6LP set for the nice price of
35GBP. It was well worth the deal as (if I remember rightly) it had more
than the standard vinyl release and also the CD pack... An excellent
package. One of the few times I have preferred Vinyl over CD. The worst I
ever did was the original pressing of 'ISDN' by FSOL. This got returned for
an exchange straight away, cause the pressing was very quiet and noisy. Now
I am not so sure, because the 2nd and 3rd times I tried it was the same
result. By the time I was desparate enough to buy the CD, the tracks had
changed...
I'm not trying to prove a point for or against either format, but I think
it's a case of careful, informed decisions. I just don't fall for gimmicks
anymore, irregardless of format. And 5-6 LP's for an album of music is
sheer stupidity. Keeps those presses busy, I suppose...
