Is anyone buying vinyl?

But the Pure Pleasure records are re-mastered from the original master tapes to get the best from the recording or at least I thought so. All the ones I have purchased have been excellent.

Still buy about 2 LP's a week, just don't post it, as it tends to fall outside of AoS' usual listening fare.

Does AOS have a usual listening fare?

From what I see, the majority tends to be Prog, late 60's early 70's Rock / Blues / Jazz, JMJ / Peter Gabriel etc type.

You might be right, although someone like Grant has pretty wide taste. I’m bringing the rest of vinyl out storage just now which is interesting, a few strange purchases I didn’t realise I had bought. Personally I just like good music, usually people with soul. My last few purchases have all been kinda soulful.

The price of vinyl dissuades me and that's a shame.

I don't think vinyl prices are that bad, in real terms. When I bought my first album (T.Rex 'Electric Warrior') in 1972, it cost £2.10, at a time when average wage was probably about £25 per week. So a week's pay would get you 12 albums. With an equivalent purchase now (single album, not double) costing less than £20, a wage greater than £240 per week would have you quids in

It's the unpredictable quality of new records that put me off a bit though. Having said that I buy more new vinyl than new CDs, my CD purchases tend to be car boot finds.

Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem at all with other people's music tastes or those genres, probably 10% of my collection would fall into them, and all music is good music.

It's just that, bearing that in mind, I don't think my own tastes would be of great interest to most here.
