In reply to the discussion: Informal poll: Do you still listen to vinyl records? [View all]GReedDiamond
(5,539 posts)...with our Green Sparkle Frog CD, except, I'm considering putting out (as a promo thing) a 7" 45 RPM vinyl record of the song we have on the CD called, not so coincidentally, "45 RPM." Not sure what the B side would be...?
Anyway, a direct answer to your question: yes, I still listen to vinyl, but I cannot say I listen to vinyl being originally produced today. When I buy a vinyl record, it is an old one, and I'm usually replacing a copy of something that got lost or worn out, or maybe a rare piece of vinyl not otherwise available on CD.
ON EDIT: Don't know what your numbers are on the CD vs Vinyl (quantities being pressed), but I'd probably limit the vinyl version to a quarter of the CD.
In my case, the % will be less than that - if I do the "45 RPM" 45 rpm 7 incher, it's going to be literally 200 copies or less, and it'll be used to promote the CD to whatever mailing list that ends up going to.
Hey, I recently read a thing about how Cassettes are making a comeback!
