Yeah, I do love that "I support the artists" when really the artist won't see shit from second hand sales. That'll teach em not to reissue - fuck you artists

I have an unplayed mp3 of Canton for sale, mint condition, sell for £60 or best offer.

Absolute rubbish.

Once an artist has released a master file to be pressed, distributed and sold, the 12" product is in no way, shape or form "theirs". If someone is selling a record for £50 then so bloody well be it.

Most people who buy records at high prices tend not to even be buying them "strictly for the music", more a combination of the music and the fact it's on vinyl. A lot of these people consider themselves 'collectors'.

It's cheaper to buy the 320 of DMZ001 (for example) and press it yourself onto a durable 12" (NOT an acetate) than it is to buy the original pressing these days - and you're trying to say the producers are being conned out of money which is, by your reckoning, rightfully theirs!? Please.

How you can even compare the piracy problem to this is beyond me.

Records came through this morning, nice one!

That "Testing the Waters" Ep is better than i remember

ahhhhh the great vinyl- artist- collector debate, .. i love it bring it on..
first thing i liked to say is that most of the time, most artists are so made up and happy that there music has hit vinyl and got a release and it has sold and they made money from say the 500 pressed up , that they dont care if that 12" sells for lots of money and becomes collectable, i can tell you for real they like the fact that their music has become so sort after as it means it has some worth, and people check the next release and buy it more quicker.
