There are plenty of reasons to not buy vinyl (i'm not going to list them
all here), but as you say the cost of it and the turntables is not the
problem (hell i used to own 1200's) back then. My main gripe is that i'm
not a DJ and i don't need to spin them backwards, pitch them up, etc so i
want the convenience of a little aluminium disc especially when it comes to
shipping all this rare and good stuff from overseas. I lied when i said i
haven't bought vinyl in nearly 10 years i did buy the Ae mailing-list only
12" when it was first announced and guess what? It came to me in the shape
of a soup bowl. Lucky Warp were understanding and sent me another, but hey
it just doesn't ship well and i don't want to spend my hard earned cash on
stuff that won't play.

Not to mention what happened to my 12" collection form the mid to late 80's
when at a party bourbon and coke were spilled all of them and whoever
spilled it didn't both to clean it up... yep i had them all in plastic
sleeves which just kept the coke and bourbon in contact with the sleeves
and 12"s. Probably the final straw that broke my vinyl collecting back.

So when can we expect the cd release of the "Lex..." material?

John
