repressing makes classics available to people who never had a chance to get them first time round. eg: stayupforever - i was lucky to be around when the original rabbits name was released but who are we to block somebody new to techno buying it at a price thats not daylight robbery.
And so what if labels are money grabbing - they aint charities and from what i hear its hard enough to make money on vinyl anyway these days.
if you've got a big seller and its outta print then repress it, sell a couple of thousand more copies and generate some more income so that the label can keep releasing new stuff aswell.
music is for all of us, not just the elite that happened to buy a copy of whatever for two farthings.
and as for this whole "e-bay" rip off thing!!! jeez that fcuking annoys me. if you buy a record as a financial investment you really dont deserve to be buying it in the first place.
rant over.
