think about it. By making their tunes vinyl only they eliminate a huge potential market. From the number of vinyl they sell in comparison to how many digital versions they could sell will be huge! Therefore less money for them. It's not difficult or expensive to put up a digital format on a number of sites in which i would say a very high percentage would go on to buy.fiasko wrote:noMoultz wrote:I guess it shows they are technically more for the music than the money though? ?

Respect the producer's/label's decision. They made the music/promo'd it/paid for mastering/pressed it/got it distros, I think they should make the decision how to put it out. For me, it's as simple as that.

when will you idiots realize that they're not in this for the money. they're not in it to sell a million copies and make big bucks. they're in it for the music.Moultz wrote:think about it.

vinyl only releases bring something special to the music. being able to hold it in your hands, knowing that this physical copy, this big flat piece of polyvinyl chloride with these tiny grooves etched into it, is pretty much the only way to own this music.
something you'll obviously never understand

yeah but in that case it's not about ownership, it's about presenting it to other people. and a digital file is obviously more convenient.leyenda303 wrote:Unless you're one of the Swamp81 guys who has the WAV and plays it out digitallyPhigure wrote: knowing that this physical copy, this big flat piece of polyvinyl chloride with these tiny grooves etched into it, is pretty much the only way to own this music.

Now stop all the quarrel ladies and order the vinyl if you want to, and if you don't, then don't.

i love how swamp is run tbh, loefah's doing it so well. i was a bit miffed when i realised that the alt mix would be on the flip but tbh he must have realised that people would just bitch and moan if he released one of them saying "waaah i wanted the other one" so tbh he's made a great decision.hendramarshall wrote:this. one of the best feelings of all time, why i only have pure love for vinyl only releases.Phigure wrote:when will you idiots realize that they're not in this for the money. they're not in it to sell a million copies and make big bucks. they're in it for the music.Moultz wrote:think about it.

i think it's a great label and doing vinyl only releases is keeping the medium going, basically i feel about it exactly how phigure and hendra do about all this

Trusta tweeted an earlyish 2012 release for Feels So, so i'd assume march sort of time (hopefully earlier though given the recent flurry of releases).hendramarshall wrote:fingers crossed that ^^ is 019, the mickey pearce at 018 should be out soon now weve gotten swims... anyone got info?
