Keith. A visit to any large audio fare where, CDs and vinyl is sold
cheek by jowl, will demonstrate to anyone where the interest lies.
People are usually buzzing like bees around the vinyl sellers:-))

Well yes. And if you went to an antique fare where new was also sold
which would have the most interest? You don't need to go to a 'fare' to
buy CDs...

Sorry about the spelling, Dave. Better than "fayre" though:-)

Not actually being in the record business, you probably do
not see the deletions lists that the companies issue monthly.
Huge numbers of CDs have disappeared. Hence the interest
at fairs.

As regards vinyl, take a look at the vinyl catalogues
of EMI, Decca, RCA, DG from the late 70's and compare
them with the current CD catalogues. A huge amount of
excellent material has never been re-issued.

I have just acquired a mint boxed set of Tchaikovsky: Complete Symphonies
VPO:Maazel. Brilliant:-)

Nice to have a mint box to look at.

You have clearly missed the point - hopefully not intentionally:-)
