  2. More over priced vinyl. No thanks. It still blows me away that retailers are tolerating the Labels No Return policy on vinyl. They crank this stuff out, charge stupid money for it and don’t allow retailers to return if it doesn’t sell. I am glad I don’t own a record store.

  3. All this coloured vinyl nonsense…
    Why would anyone past their kindergarten years be interested in coloured vinyl is just beyond me.
