cd single GOOD OR BAD ?

[The_Laughing_Man]

Most distributers just aren`t interested in CD singles (what few there are left that is), and there simply isn`t a market for it.
Buy the downloads and burn your own CD`s

i bought a couple of cd singles off juno the other day by mistake!
a patterns one and and acidizer one
I was really pissed off when i realized they were cds!
and they were 4.49 each!
what a rip off!
they were in the 12" section jumbled up with all the vinyls
so watch out chaps you have been warned.

bloody stupid idea, cd singles aren't they?
i mean what's the point?
digital is digital right?
once it's digital then who f+cking cares what format it's in
download, cd , who gives a toss, really?
as long as it sounds ok.

well actually if you live in mexico or nigeria let's say... where there are 3 whole vinyl shops in the entire country, you would understand the demand for this product. most DJs here download and burn, so when folks take the time to buy a 5 dollar CD single from your distributor it means that these are people who are supporting you enough to not download and burn pirate, and are pushing your music in a place where your 12" would not have otherwise arrived!

amazing well put mr gunjack is precisly my point , as a collector of techno aswell as an artist i dont mind paying an extra few quid for a cd single ya no, i feel ive got value for my money and as we all no a mastered wav is always going to be better sounding than a mp3.

ahhh now now henry , listen man i tell you if you released a single file hydraulix cd say with 10 tracks on or even a hydraulix single cd , which i would prob sell after you hav shifted all your units of vynyl, i would be 1 of those customers as would probably about 500 other chaps on this board.

so erm any chance of 1 for chrimbo ? heheheheheheh

nonsense

sod them thats what i say
tell them to get a couple of tin cans and an oil drum and bang out the tracks themselves
that'll save a few quid
and save me the trouble


grrrrrrrr!

[jon connor]

heheheheh ok then mr drummer , obviously not everyones cup of tea but hey just wanted to say like, i would be willing to pay for a single wav cd . mabey its a waste of time mabey its not just somtimes its nice to have the choice ya no man.

However i will state a fact i should of stated before @ the moment im more interested in back cat in this format especially stuff i collect, like the jerk , consruct rhythem etc from drizzly which they have put a few up recently so other labels for instance i would love to look at in the future in this format would be stuff form lets say , glen wilsons punish/ stuff like compound deffinatly your stuff hydraulix etc man there its a few that are just collectable .

Yeah that`s a huge share of the market right now.

Can you just see those CD sales rising up like a mountain.

Cd is not the replacement for vinyl.

Those days ended somewhere in the 90`s, LAST CENTURY

No one is disputing that physical media is more pleasant for those of us old enough to care about it.
But the kids don`t care, and pretty soon there won`t be any ditributers left to carry any physical product, let alone all of a sudden deciding to plump for CD as their saviour.

dont want it to replace vynyl mate like i said to henry i would and i am thinking of doing this with my new label next year which will be vynyl, 2 months after release mp3 will go up and then i will look at backing up with a small amount of single cds , test the waters a bit.
