The days of digging crates for vinyl with nsc etchings are passed.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, I can see labels/distributors doing small
runs and still keeping the quality release up. I know a lot of people think
vinyl is a pain in the jack adams but I still love the process dearly.
There was this one guy keeping a record shop in Oulu a few years back. We
called him "Diskerin Veikko" (Diskeri being the store name and the latter
his firstname). Quite eccentric fellow in more ways than one. Once he
opened up and told me that the thing he liked about vinyls was: "... after
work I'd spread some nice vinyl covers all over my living room, put a good
record on the turntable, and just listen and enjoy the artwork."
That's one of the things I like about vinyl packaging, good artwork.
Better yet if it tells a story related to the music stored within as well.
