Little bit of pondering material on this one: I asked about the album at Piccadilly at the weekend. I felt a bit daft at not really having heard of them, picking up that old 12, saying "hey this is good" and being told after enquiring about the LP I'd seen on Discogs that this was a recent highlight. Yet it went totally under my radar - I assumed this was because I might have ignored it since it wasn't on vinyl (though I would usually have noticed it in Piccadilly's e-mail). "Did you have that Connection Machine album in on Downlow?" "Hmmm I don't remember it though I would have thought we would have had it......?" "It was a CD only thing" "Oh that's it then, we wouldn't have bothered with it" So although it might have been more suited to a CD release there's those like me that tend to concentrate on vinyl and then shops that either think the vinyl would have done better or don't take as much notice of a CD only release. Maybe (as daft as I guess it is) CD only stuff (especially from a label that does release vinyl) doesn't get taken as seriously. So although vinyl's pricier to do maybe it's going to have hidden benefits in raising the whole profile of the release/artist. Not much help if you just plain can't afford to spend the money on doing the vinyl but interesting.
