ive just bought a copy of Gillian Welch's -The Harrow & The Harvest so we'll see how much better her vinyl is compared to mainstream.
good album. not heard the vinyl yet
have you got yours yet mike,mine was sent on the 6th,not turned up yet :(
Vinyl may be leveling off, but it sure isn't over! I just heard the other day that some 7% of vinyl records sold are to people who don't even own record players! So, exactly how is digital copying affecting vinyl? Not that it proves anything, but it shows a lack of connection. People want to own it, to have the full album cover and sleeve art. That has not changed.

I see absolutely no evidence that the 'vinyl boom' is over - quite the opposite in fact! But then I'm not trying to get an article published by a newspaper. I doubt they would be interested in yet another piece stating that the 'vinyl boom continues unabated'!
I'd expect the labels to be all over vinyl since you can't make a duplicate the way you can with CD/download. That said, I'm sure they'll also completely miss the point and try and reduce their costs by compromising on quality and maximising profit by taking the pi55 with prices - there are only so many people prepared to spend £20 on an LP
