RE: From WSJ: Neil Young CD=$10, LP=$42

Hey ... in my mind if new vinyl makes artists rich, and/or record companies - you can bet there will be more vinyl.

The article was dismissive of Vinyl "only" being 2%. From just 5 years ago, it was 0.02% of record sales. 100-fold increase which takes vinyl from near death coma to being healthy and on the road to recovery!

And if it is a major profit stream well outsized to its volume, you can bet there will be more vinyl if they can help it. And likely cheaper prices.

And you forgot the download code they give you with the $30 record. If you iTunes'ed it it would have been $10. So ... $10 for MP3, $20 for the LP.

While I won't be lining my house with new vinyl at those prices, I do think it is fair given the state of things. If LP's are continuing to grow in the coming years, I'd bet yesterdays $30 is tomorrow's $20 or $15...
