Bill:  I'd rather have *everything* on vinyl, too, but labels have to make
the decision whether to do cd *and* vinyl or CD only.  It costs a lot of
money to do both, and independent labels such as Plug Research can't afford
to take the chance on hoping that the vinyl is going to sell (especially in
a case like this where Low Res' music isn't your typical DJ/mixing music).
Labels choose to put the DJ oriented stuff on vinyl and leave the more
listening stuff to CD. Again, it would be great if everything was on vinyl,
but labels can't afford to please everybody all the time :) Andrew
