Actually, it has. The Spanish label Fresh Sounds brought it out on
CD a few years ago. I thought it had gone out of print, but
Footlight Records still shows it in their online catalog. Check it

The producers might go, Here is a strange recording, call "X". He/she
is strange too, he/she can make the cover to it.
Just an idea...

BTW: did you sell these records singulary record by record? 1000s of them? I find it rather exhausting to do that on ebay - fill in this form for each record again and again. there should be a list form or something, with the possibility to bring a couple of similar objects to auction, yet posting these auctions singulary in the end.

I like labels too. the problem is that often it's impossible to make a decent copy, especially when parts of the label ur unprinted or printed in "unprintable colors" like silver, white etc. another problem is that the lables have to be adjusted very exactly, otherwise you get problems with spinning the CDs.
I haven't heard that a label is a protection for the CD and I cannot imagine why this should be the case.

Aah, the good ol' vinyl vs. CD discussion again! Didn't pop up for a while... One day someone should go through the archives and write a book on this subject. And how over the years the opinions have been slightly changing. Did I recognize a new tone in the last posts? In former discussions the question of sound was the main issue, now the users seem to getting used to the sound of the CD (or do they agree nowadays, that there isn't that much of a difference as they thought before?) and seem to enjoy the advantages in handling of the CD. Now the question of originality is seen in a more mysterious light: "Purest expression", what might that be?

Thanks to Lou for info on this site. Frontline's one of the best things on
TV, and the website is excellent. The local PBS is erratic in its showing
of Frontline, however, so I hope I get the chance to see it eventually.
On an unrelated matter, despite my recent (and self-contradictory)
disavowal of digital format music, for those of you who like Arabic music,
http://www.mazika.com/ has tons of good mp3s from Egypt, Lebanon, and the
Gulf. Ehab Tawfik, Ragheb Alam, and Hani Shaker are personal favorites.
The download time is pretty quick as well. I don't have Napster and have
almost no experience ftp-ing files, so I've missed most of the controversy
on that, but if you're something of a novice, like me, and dig just about
anything from the Middle East, this is the place for you.

Just a few years ago I was listening to this old guy who's been playing the
same records for 40 years and he siad something I will never forget. It was
so funny.
"For the past hour we have been playing records and not a single compact
disk. You know how much trouble they can be!"
He's been playing more CD's now. But still tons of vinyl.

My favourite is "Vegetarian Bavarian in Exile". A 12" record with only the
outer grooves on one side recorded and the rest of the record is a sculpture
of a mountain with a bunch of lost figures in Lederhosen (Bavarians). It
plays, and was produced by a record dealer who also runs his own label in
Holland which continues to produce limited edition musical art objects.
Another is Mark Mothersbaugh's cassette version of "Musik for Insomniaks" on
the Japanese TRA label, on a gold cassette and with a set of Mark
Mothersbaugh playing cards included in the costom fit box!
The biggest challenge is how to store these things!

I don't know if its just a problem of finite supply or dealers hoarding for
Ebay but I can say I have not for some time now, found anything in vinyl
worth buying at most of my usual haunts. I have noticed higher starting
prices in the stores, but also less stock is moving. There have been slow
periods before but I can't help but wonder how much is now being kept in
anticipation of potential high auction prices. I think Alan is correct in
saying that Ebay is no threat as people will search this service for
something particular but are no more likely to buy junk records online than
they would in a store, especaily with postage costs and minimum prices.
Brian.. Hoping for a good find to make winter more bearable...

Well if Jane Fonda wanted to remake "Barbarella" she lost her chance. Drew Barrymore is in the middle of producing and starring in the remake at this moment. I can hear all the sighs. Just another one of those movies that doesn't need to be remade, being remade. Steven Soderbergh is remaking "Oceans 11" right now as well, if anyone didn't know.
