i download lots of LPs, well actually a lot less than i used to.
The thing is u can't buy everything can you?
There's only THAT small amount of money that you can spend every once in a while on CDs, LPs and art in general. These days i prefer "saving" to buy petrol for the bloody car to go to work (...) like just anybody else who doesn't live and work in a large city.
I'm attracted to packaging that is singular and that is the key selling point these days. Anybody can find good looking jpegs to print a jacket and stick in a jewel case.
so as far as i'm concerned i download what i need to listen to and i buy the LPs i would buy with or without downloading. I actually found out that i bought CDs i would never have bought if i hadn't had the chance to download in the first place., which is really in favoir of downloading.
Being part of the indie music biz on a small scale, i understand both points of view. Downloading is fine as long as u keep on buying a few LPs to support the bands u really like. Basic but true.
