[QUOTE="*M*A*R*C*U*S*, post: 683105, member: 7993"] That'll be 197 people then as I have at least 3 copies LOL Seriously though - yes, the internet obviously makes collecting from the relative confort of your house a very easy thing to do - & all the more power to it - it's allowed me to track down tunes I wanted for well over 20 years - I simply wouldn't ever have them without it - BUT - for serious collectors, of which I consider myself one, the 'event' of physicaly going trawling through racks & bins & ditches & skips LOL just simply can't be beat! "There's nothing like the smell of vinyl in the morning" - er - or was that 'Napalm" LOL... Anyway, yes prices are down on lots of stuff, but it simply reflects availability - pure & simple as - rightly said, some stuff is rare just because few were pressed, so if it's half decent will always attract a price. The industry scare mongers have been saying for years that vinyl is dying - it's still being pressed isn't it.

Physical storage space is always an issue for vinyl - I can see why newbies just want mp3's - lots of folk now play purely off of digital media - BUT - they can fuck off if they think they're having tip top quality rips off of my old rare collectible vinyl :naughty: NO WAY! And that's what collecting's about - the hunt - finding that 'jem' - those tunes that you know are rare & only limited folk have - once they're out there on mp3 & up on every single file sharing site known to man it demystifies them, spoils them to an extent, & does indeed devalue them. SAVE THE VINYL! :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
