Default Vinyl vindicated

I even get that about new stuff - I know I can get any music I want
from the Internet, and I could ask friends to make copies of stuff,
and they would be perfect. But I want the CD. I want to spend half an
hour breaking through the shrink wrap. I want to feel the weight of
the booklet, and read all the words for no good reason. I want to see
the CD with all its printing.

Sometimes I might even listen to it!

For many, that is an added attraction of boxed vinyl sets.
I have both the vinyl and CD versions of "My Ladye Neville's Booke"
early keyboard music by William Byrd published in 1591.

The vinyl set (8 sides) includes a wonderful 11.5x11.5 inch
22 page book, including a colour facsimile of the original.

The CD, also has a tiny, barely readable booklet,
which pales in comparison.

Perhaps I should listen to the CD, and look at the vinyl:-)

Cordially,

Iain





Iain, the CD booklet must be read digitally. You extend a digit* to scan
just underneath the text you are reading.
