Hello ! > * if they [plaid] were compromising artistic integrity [or selling out] they > would [which they will not] repress _mbuki mvuki_ on vinyl [only 500 were > pressed in 1991] & cd [only vinyl originally] This is something that I hate so much that I cannot even describe. But I'll try something out. I think that Plaid are really stupid for not rereleasing Mbuki Mvuki on CD and vynil. Also, it goes for AFX/Caustic Window, Philosophy of sound..., Cavity Job, . . . . . All of these are really bunch of ignorant fools. They have the money and people's requests for rereleasing and they still don't do it. Sorry, but I just don't understand this . . . For example we got records like Lego Feet, Bola 1, Freeform : Free ep, Mask twelves, . . bla . .blah . . . . . . And I understand why they are not rereleasing their stuff (yet). First of all because of the money which they haven't got enough, because of not so many requests and because of . . . But I know for sure, when they became bigger labels, they won't rerelease this records either. Imo, if I'd have a label I would rerelease all my early 12"-only-releases on CD and vynil later . But they won't do this, and I cannot understand it. So we have many people today who are buying records for 50-150$USD, but I won't do this anymore. This is not music listening and enjoying anymore, it's f**king collecting and it kills music and its purpose. I am uncureable collector myself, but I am trying to stop with that. So I say : F**k em , there is plenty of great music out there for 6 - 25USD ! sorry for being boring and annoying, respect Rob
