First off it's cheaper. Records are on the whole WAY less expensive than cd's. Especially if you're
hmmm...all i will say is that i bought the new mogwai on vinyl for maybe 1 or 2 dollars less than the cd and that is the norm (re: the price markup) when i get a vinyl version of an album...i dont think most new vinyl is very cheap really...esp if you go for the high quality 180 gram vinyl (as much of the new indie and jazz reissues are)...i've accumulated a pretty decent debt just because of all the dub vinyl i've bought...now that shit is expensive and adds up...and electronica 12" are regularly $10-12 (unless you get domestic singles which usually dont offer a great selection)...that's not really a better price...even 7" will run you $3 a pop...not much cheaper than a new cd single if you ask me...
mint vinyl copy of Adventures for $7 from a used record store in Cambridge Mass. :)
if you are saying that because you could get ABTU used for $7 on vinyl that it is a better deal i'm gonna have to disagree. I could go down to the used store and pick the ABTU cd up for around 8 or 9. and it sounds better. the copy of my ABTU on vinyl was pressed on very thin plastic and the sounds just dont get reproduced as well as they should. maybe you version is pressed on better vinyl. one can only hope so. but i know i have the original pressing and its disappointing how terrible it sounds...i'll definately defer to my cd... of course if you are talking about buying used vinyl then you have a point to a certain extent. its not hard to find old cheap records...i regularly grab handfuls of 50 cent records to sample from...
old stuff, or new promos. The orb once more 3x12" promos are a perfect
you know, i wish i would have just bought the cd singles (wait...i did...) cause i wasted $35 on 3 12"s that i will never play because the mixes are horrific...at least i could sell the cd singles for some cash...selling vinyl is such a losing cause... i love all my vinyl but i dont think i could ever say that i like one format better than the other. a lot of my hiphop just doesnt sound as good on viynl as it does on the cd. maybe thats because whomever mastered it didnt do it with vinyl in mind. i'd say that both sides of the argument are pretty valid and it just comes down to user preference...as do almost all things... thx tweez np: phish 7-9-2003 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
