As much as I hate to drag this on... I consider myself to be one of these
collecting geeks. But I don't understand why the collectibility is always
associated with the vinyl. I buy both vinyl and CD, but prefer CDs - I
generally buy the vinyl (if vinyl only) and put it to MD. It's not so much
about convenience but about ruining the product. Everytime I play the
vinyl, it deteriorates the product, i.e. it becomes worthless. So what
makes the LP/12" more collectable? Just the bigger size?
With most of my collection of geeked-out expensive rarities (everything from
Ae, Aphex, Warp/SKAM to poppier things like Stereolab, Saint Etienne, and
New Order/Factory stuff), with a few exceptions, if there is a vinyl
pressing and a CD pressing of the same thing, the CD always collects more
money on the auction/selling block.
