oh come on...
no it's not a vinyl vs. CD question. I'm just wondering WHY there are
still so many vinyl releases in this music genre. Martin Burbridge had
some good ideas on the 'whys' of things. And that's what I'm hunting for.
I mean.. It feels a lot better for me to show up at a gig with a record
bag and no CD cases or or folders. It also takes us an extra step if we
want to put vinyl only music into mp3 format. The manipulation of the
music question is a moot point too.
I guess if label managers chimed in, they'd say they release stuff on
vinyl because the demand is there, but don't CD releases open up your
music to many more consumers? These days, the vinyl club is pretty
exclusive (in the grand sceme of things).
anyway...
