Well, my copy's on vinyl on Eye-Q (not Harthouse... strange, that). But I take your point. I'm still used to assuming that most albums are released on vinyl, even if it's harder to find. I guess the US is ahead of the UK when it comes to death of vinyl. I find it really surprising that dance music compilations are being released in the US on CD only. Surely there must be a huge number of amateur DJ's who need vinyl to play around with, but can't afford to buy seriously....? Incidentally, d'ya have a UK release date for Claifornia Dreamin'? (And please say that FFRR are releasing it on vinyl over here.... :-) Cosmic
