Default Independent View Of LP versus CD

commercial opening for this 'great' music it would have been released on
CD, in the main.


A friend recently gave me a bunch of LPs to put on to CD - women singers
and musicians of the 1920-40s (Victoria Spivey, Trixie Smith, Hociel
Thomas and many more). Alas there doesn't seem to be a commercial
opening for this type of music - so if you're reliant on CD you'd never
hear it. Unless you bump into a nice chap like me :-)


I'm sure there is material never released on LP too - 78 rpm only. Talking
book material on cassette, 16rpm, etc.
