Apologies if this appears more than once...
I was having a beer with someone who works at a large record distributers in the UK the other week and he was telling me that vinyl will meet it's demise a lot sooner than people think because the number of companies that can manufacture lacquers for use in the production of vinyl is now limited to a handful in the world (and due to lack of demand they are not exactly economically viable anymore).
Now I don't want a boring digital vs. vinyl type discussion here (we've done that to death) but I'm not sure I believe him for some reason. I'd like to hear this isn't true but I suspect it might be. Anyone on here have any better information than me? cheers robin...
