Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore

I'm glad I got that Miles Davis Electric Years box set from them while they were still here.... 

You have to hand it to the management team that drives a record company into the ground during the great vinyl Renaissance. 

@viridian...agreed!  What a couple of morons, doing what they did.  I’m sure you know the story.  I can’t believe they actually thought they wouldn’t get caught...

For those who haven't followed the story:

Was never part of their "club" but did want the reissue of Joshua Judges Ruth on vinyl. Apparently, so many copies had issues- warps, non-fill, etc. I finally found a reseller on the secondary market who verified that the copy on offer was a clean player and am glad I have it. Too bad they are gone, I suspect more will go as a result of market changes over time-- the vinyl boom has been a blessing, but it is still a tempest in a teapot when you consider what volumes were sold in the heyday. Still, I’m happy to support any company that wants to venture in to this space with good product and transparency over sources. In the meantime, despite my deep investment and love for the LP, I’m getting good quality sound from digital files without having spent serious money. That is the future in my estimation-- we will be a niche of a niche in the larger market of prerecorded music. 

Better get into master tape dubs than into this faceless digital future. Well, for analogue recordings, of course.
