Vinyl or downloads ?

nickrhodes · Jul 2, 2015

Dear people of Brighton and Hove,

If vinyl was more widely available would you buy it for your favourite bands or do you prefer the convenience of downloads

Vinyl is on the increase, Paper gods will have a.vinyl option.

I must admit I love proper records..

Best
Nick

Vinyls sound better so vinyl

saltdeanseagull1 · Jul 2, 2015

vinyl all the way

These days, prefer the convenience, and sound quality of downloads, as far as reggae is concerned anyway. Wasnt there some Brazilian billionaire trying to buy up all the vinyl in the world?

Edit: there is..

Vinyl, hell yeah&#55357;&#56842;.
I still collect 80s electro and 80s/1990 acid/rave vinyl and though I could get most of the tracks as MP3 without much of a problem, I far prefer awaiting something being delivered from America or Europe, plus being able to physically hold the item.
I would say that I enjoy truly owning a piece of vinyl rather than a bit of data.
I still do download where I feel it is appropriate.

It is widely available.

CD's for me, some downloads.

My record player gave up, ages back.

I'm listening to my portable record player on the train right now.

Why do I find this character so amusing?

Vinyl is great, though the portable player is a bit cumbersome and prone to skipping when on the move.

I used to DJ a club on a greek island every summer 20 odd years ago all vinyl back then obviously, my son told me all the DJ's in clubs use a laptop now not much skill in that.

All the new vinyl I've bought recently (Leftfield, Public Service Broadcasting), come with codes so you can download as well.

Get the best of both worlds there. Vinyl at home, and download for headphones/car etc.

I tend to still get a fair amount of CDs. I don't have a vinyl player, and plenty of small bands will have stuff on CD at their gigs (although lots are putting things on sites like Bandcamp now).

Both innit.

I prefer vinyl, but I don't like the price of it. Are vinyl lovers being exploited?

Having acquired every song i've ever wanted, amassing my overall collection to something like 125,000 songs, I've recently sought to build up a vinyl collection just for fun.

Car boot sales are flooded with good quality vinyl - especially if you like ABBA as their albums are absolutely everywhere!

Certainly this for most reggae sound systems nowadays

How many albums does that song collection convert into?

Albumen · Jul 2, 2015

A collection isnt a collection unless you can touch it.

Duran Duran don't sound good on any medium.
