I live in Berlin and I keep talking to labels who want to press my stuff on vinyl. "We simply must do it on vinyl, its the best sound" they say. And I'm thinking ... can't we just get it on Beatport ? Times have changed.

I'm actually amazed that this many record stores and vinyl distributors kept in business as long as they did. Mostly they did because they loved doing it and they sacrificed to keep going. If it was simple economics they would have closed up long ago.
