[kj] Vinyl mastering?

[Stephen Robinson]

Modern vinyl is expensive, but most of thw quility is as good if not  
better than it's ever been. The worst days were in the 80s of records so  
thin they were bent over by the cellthane wrapping. Of course back then  
they were making 3 times as much on CDs than on records...
