I too prefer vinyl over any other format, and surprisingly, vinyl has outsold CD’s for the first time since the 80’s this year. I realize it’s not as successful as streaming, but it is certainly my preference for musical listening pleasure. Granted, it’s a niche market, expensive, and certainly not as portable or convenient as CD’s or Dan Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505382646281868171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788213.post-67022211812491341122020-09-22T03:10:27.680-04:002020-09-22T03:10:27.680-04:00He was planning to release Odeon Budokan on vinyl ...He was planning to release Odeon Budokan on vinyl wasn't he?
