i'm not bitter about the cash. i would jud 'prefer' to see new material as opposed to repress's & remixes.
look, i dont have a problem here.. most of the neagtive has been at me, and all i done was voice an opinion. ppl flew off the handle about Reason & Speedy j.
jus cos i would rather see new & as opposed to recycled tunes, dont mean i'm gonna boycott or hunt down labels or artists.
when i go into our local record store, its pretty much repress central. cos they cant shift anyhting new... and theres 101 reasons why vinyl has declined.. MP3, Live, cdj's... blah blah blah.
i jus thought as a topic it might bring some interesting replys... as well as the usual dose of 'lighten up' and 'your being a knob' style musings lol
which it did :D
