Vinyl - anyone still buy it?

Looks like Monorail might be opening back up for mail order again tomorrow.

Bought an absolute shit-tonne of vinyl in the last couple of weeks, particularly when Bandcamp, and in some cases labels, have waived their fees.

Record shop-wise, Banquet, Vinilo, Reflex and Juno have all been excellent and reasonably-priced on the whole.

RSD today. Some stuff not as overpriced as it would’ve been in the last few years, don’t know if it’s anything to do with it being spread over three “drops”.

Managed to get the Supergrass 10”, Art Brut 7” and the new Craig Finn record with the outtakes from his last three records, which I’ve just finished listening to and loved. Easily one of the best songwriters of all-time.

Got Manics 'Done and Dusted', Nazareth, This Flight Tonight /Love Hurts, singles.
Still to get, the Menzingers album, Murder Capital live ep and when I can afford it, the Gary Numan triple live album!.

Pretty unimpressed with the list this year. More and more it is becoming a tool for the majors to pump out whatever dross they can find lying about by Pink Floyd, Bowie et al. Bought the Pale Saints LP and the Roy Redmond 7". Always like to see what is the most sought after disc on ebay on the Saturday night. Never fails to surprise. This year seems to be the Gary Numan release. Who knew.

This was the first year I’d bought anything in 5 or 6. Like you say, the whole ethos has been destroyed by major labels charging £15/20/30+ for re-releases. Some of the prices were scandalous - the Pink Floyd and John Lennon 7”s were £15 a piece. The Motörhead shaped 7” was £25 and the Gary Numan release (albeit triple vinyl) was £60!
