It’s hard to imagine any consumer product with as long a useful life as traditional vinyl records. This is yet another questionable gimmick pandering to current trends of "going green" - don’t think anything through; just go with what sounds nice under the banner of "go green". I’d say go after the DISPOSABLE aspects of consumerism, not this. Rest assured sound quality and durability are NOT the #1 priority in this new formula.
I’ll go out of my way to avoid these pressings, just as I avoid "alternative" meat products.
