I wasn't blaming the record labels (not most of them anyway) for the
rising price of imported records, Im just complaining about the price
tag thats stuck to the record, regardless of how it got there.
Anyway, the most important part of my email was the reviews. I dont
intend to start a big political thing, though i suppose its inevitable
when talking about money. i just wanted to review some records.

oh and one more thing. I dont know about the rest of the vinyl buyers
and spinners in the US, but Im sick of seeing records commonly go for
$11.50 and $12. Luciano's single release on Peacefrog is being sold
locally for $14 Thank you Mr. Heard, for releasing quality house
music in the USA for the price of $7. i tip my hat to you, and please
continue!
Anyone is welcomed to step up and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm
pretty sure the skyrocketing vinyl prices have a lot to it being
imported and the weak dollar - especially next to the euro right now.
Customs is really persnickety on big boxes of it entering in the US,
too.
