More evidence that LPS are still alive

I understand that plus I wish your band well but IF someone is going to rip it anyway (which they will) then why not sell to everyone possible, your idea is only going to keep honest people honest......like a cheap lock.

Johnnyb53-I am new to HDTracks, but they include the liner notes and cover art as pdf files. Not the same as LP cover art. I remember fondly Yes, Pink Floyd, rolling Stones, etc, where cover art was one of the reasons for buying the album! A recent interview I heard with Herb Alpert with the cover of the girl in whipped cream and he said a lot of people never listened to the album before they bought it! Nothing will replace LPs in the near future. CDs are just not the answer. That said, Redbook done well is still great music, ti's just not quite analog.

Chadnliz, the point is that if/when the album is ripped and posted, after that the sales are limited. If you are watching the bottom line, this is an impediment to doing big numbers. But- if you make LPs, smaller projects will be able to do bigger numbers and better overall.

Plus you get the benefit of better sound. Even 24-bit 88.4KHz recordings made from the master don't equal the finished LPs.
