As a collector of ECM vinyl ...
Posted by newanvil on August 16, 2012 at 07:20:11:
I can assure you ECM was a vinyl label as long or longer than they were a digital-only label. As eso said -- great recordings on great pressings. I was just joking with a spinning buddy the other day that finding a pristine early catalogue, West German ECM pressing is like finding a Japanese King Blue Note: it doesn't get much better, sound0wise, than that.
The other beauty of ECM vinyl is that you can pick up many titles used absolutely unplayed and for relatively cheap, since their esoteric artists and recordings were often purchased by casual listeners who spun the LP once, decided it wasn't for them, and never touched it again until they sold it off to a store somewhere. :)
