Fellow vinyl junkies: we made the front page

Apparently we vinyl junkies are now considered "front page news". The front page of today's (5-18-06) of The Seattle Times newspaper carries an article on the resurgence of LP's and the people who collect vinyl. For more, here's the link:

Very bad news. Encourages the bandwagoners to hop on, soak up the vinyl, raise prices, and then have the LP's sit unplayed and neglected in the corner when they find out that spinning vinyl isn't plug-and-play. I say this only half in jest. :-|

But if more people buy, more will be made and prices will drop and there will be more variety. At least that's how it is supposed to be.

I hear where you're coming from with respect to new vinyl, RW. With some of these LP's at $30 a pop, they can't go much higher! :-)

if you read the article, you'll see that nobody's really going to be convinced of anything they didn't believe before. they didn't really address the issue of sound quality other than to quote the vinyl lovers (and everybody knows we're a bunch of luddites anyways, right?)
