Heard today on a CBS radio outlet that Charles Gibson is presenting a feature on why audiophiles are continuing to support vinyl recording media It airs on the CBS TV news/features program on this Sunday morning. 8:30 pm in the LA area.

simply a great american band.....head n shoulders above most of the dreck out there..intelligent but rocks with the best of em and not afraid to talk about booze, failure, gentrification and all that other good stuff
It came on the program "Sunday Morning" at 9:50am ---10 min before the end. FYI.
It was really about the vinyl record in the context of marketing (it's getting more popular and it ain't goin' away. Not too much about the sound, and nothing about home audio equipment.
So as usual the bone heads at CBS know nothing about our hobby, thus not worth watching.
I found the Sunday Morning show segment on vinyl kind of interesting. Sure it was mostly in the context of marketing, production costs vs CD's, etc., and vinyl not going away anytime soon, a resurgence in interest, and some new indie bands releasing only on vinyl.
And it was mentioned on a few occasions that many people still prefer the superior sound of vinyl.
I thought it was worth watching as did many others.
I know there used to be, and probably Michael Fremer would still insist on the superiority of vinyl. Personally, I'm not impressed by digital recordings on vinyl - some of them sound as bad as the worst CDs. I wonder if anyone is still making fully analog records? You'd probably have to invest in vintage equipment to make such a recording, since studio equipment today is probably designed to work with digitized material?
I thought the question was about audio journalists, not recordings. ?! Yet you changed your question in the body of the message.
I guess I was thinking: are there audio journalists who prefer analog vinyl and not just vinyl as such, and if so how much stuff is out there that they would approve of. But I admit I kind of swerved a bit.
The copy of Tom Waits' Mule Variations I bought on vinyl when it was releades was a fully analog recording. I don't know where it was recorded/mastered.
The White Stripes recorded an album at Toe Rag, an all vintage analog studio in England. Whether or not you can get it on vinyl, and if you could, if it would still be all analog, I don't know.
Hi! The Drive by Truckers are sold on analog and vinyl. Their new album, "Brighter Than Creation's Dark" was recorded for vinyl.It is an excellent album...check out www.drivebytruckers.com for all the analog recordings they have. Even the CD has Side 1, 2, 3 and 4 listed. Joe
That's good news - I'll check it out. I recall now that Neil Young used to be very pro-analog. Don't know if he still feels that way. = P
The White Stripes recorded "Elephant" (the one with the breakout hit- Seven Nation Army) at Toe Rag studio, and it is (was?) available on vinyl. It is a double LP with one disc being red, and the other, well, white...
Sounds pretty good- more vintage Analog than state of the art, being somewhat fuzzy and overly warm. its not the cutting, as the CD has the same overall character.
