once again I must say that I think physical product is on the way out. Every kid I know thinks CDs are for grandad...I do not exaggerate!

I no longer have a independant record shop in my home town of Stevenage, I have to make a weekly visit to Letchworth! We do have a Virgin store but that no longer sells vinyl.
The only good point to supermarkets and internet shopping is that a lot of charidee shops have opened up here and you can get classic albums on vinyl for about 50p!

...but obviously you can`t put them in the car, but this does raise a case in point. Once we have bought the product on vinyl, we then own the rights to play it for our "own private use", but we would be being illegal if we downloaded a copy from a file sharing site,(for private vehicle us) where it would not be logged for chart placing anyway, and who wants to buy an album twice?

We now only have Woolies, Tesco or WH Smith to buy from, apart from the independant Classical Music Shop. I think most people buy online. I do still prefer the hard copy to downloads, and vinyl to CDs.

Mr Monkey... you completely threw me off with that first bit... I'm thinking 1953, er... but you go on to make an excellent point of it. Spot on matey.
