I dont know, especially with the fact that kids are buying turntables over guitars these days - there will be TONNES of kids, amateurs, hobbyists (sp), etc to keep the vinyl world alive, just think the competition will heat up between them - no more sh*t releases, cuz if things are going to go like you say, sh*t release does not equal a sale. Today there are loads of crap records that get released, especially with artists whoring themselves out with 2-3 releases a week - that to me says they're sacrificing quality - what's your thoughts on this?

HOWEVER, you forgot something very important: we're talking about an issue here that even the big Records label, with their virtually unlimited cashflow, have been unable to nic; digital distribution. Now, mp3's certainly didn't spell the doom of big record labels yet (hell, i think they profited off of suing everyone). But it did take a chunk of change out of their profit. At that point in time, i could care less: Big labels didn't play with the boys that i like (except for the grand pubahs, but i can care less about them). Big record labels need to go away, but little ones need to stay. And THAT'S why i fear this for the little records labels: if a small portion of their profit margin goes, they could easily sink under. Yeah, vinyl sales aren't going to tube out, but they will go down quite a bit, at least at first. and considering how much it costs to put out vinyl, you're going to see a lot less vinyl out there. You're going to see vinyl from people who are able to put out a couple hundred copies MAYBE at a time, and will only be able to distribute that locally. I'm very excited and horrified to see what is going to happen to music as a whole in the next 5 years. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
