[kj] Vinyl

[folk devil]

Vinyl had a renaissance during rave...the late 80s thru the mid-90s was a 
boomtime. However, many labels no longer release it, and there isn't really 
much audiophile [virgin] vinyl around today. I still release on it myself, 
but am seriously considering releasing CD only from now on, the sale of 
which is dying out itself due to downloading.
Back to Greenpeace: With the setting up of the Stockholm Convention and with 
the UN banning dioxins will inevitably make vinyl production very difficult.
