Well that's really excellent. Haven't taken much notice as you might
have gathered. I was only going by industry grapevine & the fact that
the best music store in my area practically scrapped their vinyl stocks
last year - used to have a whole shop to itself, now it's all videos, I
think. Limited editions are OK; they probably still had the old masters
(see also my other post).

>Vinyl lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :-)
'Course it does, (only if you look after it of course), I use 'em too,
all I'm suggesting is that it's now more difficult to mass produce
vinyl. BTW, any idea what these reissues cost?

Just struck me that if it's EMI's 100th anniversary, couldn't thay have
made some Edison wax cylinders as well, just for the novelty value?
Thought for the week!
