General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

The thing is this:

The last time we were asked to dance a merry jig and adopt a new format (actually, a few formats ago) when CD came out, many of us stopped looking for vinyl and missed out on picking up great music and even better records (why didn't I start collecting Blue Note et al.?) in the rush to be first on the block.

Well, no partner - not me again. Right now I'm busy collecting as many obscure and delightful CDs as I can find: I continue to collect mini-lp releases when I can, I have resurrected my piano collecting from APR recordings and have now begun a Trinidadian calypso collection, recorded by Emory Cook and made available by the Smithsonian. All great stuff. All unlikely to find their way in significant numbers on to any new, physically-based format.

Good luck to any and all who decide to get on this bus. Me, I just won't bite this time. And if you decide to offload your precious, low-res CDs, let me know. I'll be happy to have them.

And I still collect vinyl.

Big J.
