Agree with pretty much most of the comments above. I would much rather have an original album than a CD-R of it, indeed I'd rather own it on vinyl. Booicore is right, they won't sell anything to the people who only download. yes I have downloaded and taped stuff, but when I had the money gone and bought it. It's called back catalogue sales, but iof you only focus onthe mid-weeks and first weeks in the record industry you won;t remember this.Oh, and there are a lot of 'indie' albums released in the late eighties and nineties that I would have bought if I could or downloaded...but they aren;t even availbale on iTunes or emusic. so guess what happens instead?
