I love Mr .Fremer's writing and in my particular case I think it really was his enthusiasm that got me back into vinyl in 2008 (having grown up with it through the 70s but reluctantly purchased CDs between 1987 and 2007 because that was all that was really available to me).
two factoids from his intro article that are new to me:
1. General Zod's prison was made of glass
2. Rega sold more TTs in 2011 than in any previous year. Now that I find amazing.
And another thing that is amazing me just as much. Seeing Deutsche Grammophon issuing new recordings on vinyl, even if at the moment it is just a small selection. Afterall, that was how CD started too...
When was the last time a "mainstream" classical label issued new releases on vinyl? Unless I am mistaken I think it was Chandos who ceased sometime in the early 90s (companies like RR don't count because they are specialist hard-core audiophile companies).
