Good riddance to wheezing vinyl

I love vinyl, been collecting it for ever 20 years. But I could care less about the resurgence of vinyl. As a matter of fact, I think that the vinyl resurgence biz is kind of stupid. Vinyl had it's day and that day has passed.

The best vinyl records - the ones that combined excellent musical talent with sensitive, minimalistic recording techniques - were pressed in the early days of stereo and hifi when the interesting artists, the machinery, and the engineers were young and in good shape.

But I see no point in trying to resurrect the technology of the past. The past was a bad place in so many ways, it was sheer luck that so much good came through it.

Also, PVC (vinyl) production is a highly toxic process unsuitable for use in the new global marketplace. We can produce good quality recordings more economically and more cleanly using today's technology.
