Considering I've bought thousands of discs from around the world, yet not a single one of them has been from Twilight Time, yes, their time may well be up soon.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the vinyl bubble bursts tbh, I see it more as a blip more than anything else, more like a fashion accessory, a boutique thing, than an actual desire to hear music on that format*. I sorted out some of my stored hi-fi gear for my youngest daughter so she could have a turntable in her room, and when her friends come round it's all "wow , a record player, vinyls, cooool! ", and then they all sit around listening to stuff on their phones...aaarggghhhh! I understand about economies of scale and that but I'm guessing vinyl will never return to the volumes it previously enjoyed and so the unit prices will remain as they are, but as someone who's bought records since 1980 I now find myself priced out of the new vinyl market. Luckily the music I love best is underground Punk/HC/metal noisy stuff and the prices are usually kept as low as possible (but then postage kills...aaarrggghhhh again!). * Not knocking anyone here obviously as it's a forum celebrating collecting and enjoying THINGS! |

Ahem. When I found the Frozen ST in Fopp ... I thought "Now whom is that for??". But then I never saw vinyl "die" ... just kept hearing this from the trendsetters. The older I get the more I titter at pundits who try and predict things. But what do I know? I've gone back to rewinding tapes

What I find odd is the current Vinyl craze isn't so much about collecting great music on vinyl to listen to but more about having the latest fab gadget, for example how many new record decks are hooked up to a hi-fi system in the lounge for listening compared to hooked up to a PC in a bedroom just to impress techy mates, I have to laugh when I see "convert vinyl to mp3 via usb" totally missing the point of the analogue sound quality, if I were to buy another turntable it would never go anywhere near my P.C. as a sad note a elderly friend has binned a vast amount of VHS and dvd as "I just look it up on youtube to watch nowadays" not just youngsters abandoning physical media either.

Did anyone read this article on Den of Geek? Falling DVD & Blu-ray sales, and an era passing | Den of Geek Generally i like the writing on the site but this is uninformed bollocks. How can you believe someone who says only 8-10 new dvds/blus get released each week? I've just looked at HMV's releases for next week and counted 21 individual titles on the first page alone. Not Rogue One on blu, Rogue One on dvd, Rogue One as a single title. There are three pages of new releases next week and a similar three this week. 8-10 new titles a week - idiot! Basing his whole article about a couple of indie films that struck streaming deals before retail then blatantly lying about the amount of new releases each week as proof that companies aren't releasing as much as they once did. he even had to edit his article as one of his case studies did come out on dvd/blu a short while later.

A conservative guess at the amount of titles released on physical media per week is north of twenty, there's normally at least ten titles I'm interested in As things stand for me, releases outweigh spare cash available, and I'm relatively comfortable. For niche fans such as ourselves, it's never been so good. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk |
