I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of vinyl albums that were played just once, and quite a few that were never actually removed from the shrink wrap. <br /><br />I suspect a lot of the vinyl mania is SIMON REYNOLDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282478701882900354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991368.post-88625011982440246382018-01-04T18:15:49.254+00:002018-01-04T18:15:49.254+00:00Thanks for taking the time on this write-up.

If a label does not produce physical media they have conceded that their music is disposable and doesn't care that each song's unique pattern of 1s and 0s will likely get lost in the vast current of digital media.
