I spend too much time in Manchester (and other) record shops. I feel like shouting at the young fellas dropping £30 on a new album to wise up, when they can have the CD for around a third of the price.
Our youngsters are being robbed once again in the pursuit of cool.

which is a discussion I often have with myself, why buy any format when I can stream over the net. The argument that wins for me is, there may come a time when I don't want to may for high speed internet access, plus a monthly streaming fee. Having bought now, I will hopefully be able to play later.
but it's always at the back of my mind that nearly all new music is digitally recorded.
Yes, but thrifty folk may be inclined simply to wait until the cd is £3. It's certainly less of a gamble than banking on the vinyl increasing in value to help justify its purchase price.If they buy the right stuff at the right time it likely won’t be too long until the £30 LP is worth £50-70 and the CD is worth £3!
