hmm.. I don't know much about running a record label, but somehow I don't
think this will be very profitable, considering the amount of gescom 12"'s..

Again, I know nothing about running a label, but usually when a label makes
music available in only one format, there are two reasons why (I think):
1) the label doesn't have the money to make it available in all formats, and
usually vinyl is the successor because DJ's don't spin CD's, and they want
DJ's to buy their records.
2) it's some sort of special release like the Hangable Auto Bulb EP's and
not meant to be released on CD. Some things are only released on CD or even
cassette tape (ie. Blechsdottir and Blech, respectively)
.auddplte <-- a new track I'm working on :)
