--I agree, the demand is lessened when it's readily available on the
internet. But what's being put up there is people recording from their
turntable to their computer. Some clean up the recordings, but most
are complete with pops, clicks and static. With these downloads so
prevelant now, it's really time for the labels that own the masters to
get off their arses and find a way to make it commercially available.
To me sites like Itunes are just fine - it's not CD quality, but for
many it's good enough (myself included). Or, as somebody else
suggested, some system for ordering CD-R's. The problem is that the
labels like Capitol that own the masters ARE willing to let other
labels license the recordings, but they either require a huge payment
up front (which'll never be recouped) or require a large number of
CD's produced. People often as if Double Crown will ever do 60's
reissues, but because of these requirements it's really something I
doubt I'll ever pursue.
