Shit cats though, not the cute fluffy ones.

Swamp81 needs to start releasing digital though... I mean, Loe himself uses Serato so I can't imagine why he has a problem with it.

I think it isn't really a 'problem', it's just smarter financial wise i guess. You have a highly adored label on the market, releasing highly wanted music + the advantage that you can't download a vinyl illegally... The sales of the vinyl releases would drop if they did digi. (of course the amount of digi you can sell would be way higher than vinyl but i have no clue how good/bad the figures are for labels with their digital releases)

I bought only vinyl when i was younger but i just can't afford it anymore and have no need for it either, that's why i'm buying only-vinyl releases and digi's of course.

Just wondering "Why?".

I don't really know what the profit is on a 12", but I don't think there's a lot of difference between the profit of 1 sold mp3 and 1 sold 12".
Pretty sure they'll even make more $$$ when they go digi, even though Swamp81 ain't about the money!

Releasing vinyl-only in 2011 is just stupid IMO. The whole "vinyl is exclusive" thing is overrated. I use Serato because it's easy and cheap, but I still buy vinyl.
What I don't do though, is play vinyl at clubs. Fucked up needles everywhere, makes the record sound shit. And a vinyl rip played by Serato sounds shit too.
Not releasing digital is just fucking with your clients. How many dj's are there with Serato and CDJ's that want to play Swamp material but can't because of the whole vinyl-only deal?
It's just bloody ridiculous IMO.

And about the sales of the vinyl releases would drop, I don't think there will be a spectacular drop to be honest. Plus, they can always change the amount of 12"s they press.

EDIT: Oh, and about the you can't download vinyl, you're right about that! However, you can download rips, and there are enough of them floating around.

I don't understand if vinyl DJs have such a massive problem with needles in clubs... just bring your own? Takes about 10 seconds to screw in a new stylus does it not? If I ever get a booking I will standardly bring fresh needles with me incase...
