Soundwave, Grimlock and Starscream variants, here we come. At this point, I'd settle for a Hot Rod variant if I could get it. Maybe releasing all this music exclusively on Vinyl is the studio's way of restricting it's use? It's a lot harder to import than CDs, it's pretty much restricted to being played in a room and the quality will gradually get worse over time. It's terrible. There are LP players that have USB output capability. Nothing can stop progress!

It's astonishing to me that two years later, LLL's He-Man set is still in stock. This is because, I quote: sountrack fans want cd's, not lp's. Not really following you. LLL's "He-Man" is a CD. It was meant as a remark about all those people speaking for "everyone" , that all soundtrack fans want a cd only.

This is because, I quote: sountrack fans want cd's, not lp's. Try "fans wants Transformers...not He Man". The fact that the Transformer LP sales beeyotch-slapped He-Man CD sales out of the universe is a fairly obvious clue to the fact. The TF fanbase is massive. He-Man can't come close. Good point, but I wonder how much this would have sold if it was a limited edition Lalaland cd.

Good point, but I wonder how much this would have sold if it was a limited edition Lalaland cd. Probably about 1000 units in the first 24 hrs. The limited edition cd market is dead because scalpers no longer participate in it. When Intrada stopped limiting their releases and FSM admitted to over printing scalpers bailed on the collectible aspect of LE cds and moved on. Around this same time, soundtrack LPs started to blossom. Mondo, the KING of collectibles, saw this and started to combine their LE poster mentality with the soundtrack LP market and it helped explode the "collectibility" of soundtrack lps -- combining new artwork, fancy looking lps and very limited runs that scalpers could snatch up and sell at high prices. Thus, you have fast sellouts -- like cds used to be -- for both Mondo and other soundtrack LP companies. You create a demand. You "put a gun to the head of the consumer" and you make them buy it now OR ELSE. One could argue another reason cds do not sell out as fast as they used to is due to reissues, but that doesn't gel because lps are reissued quite often and they too sell out quickly...because of scalpers. It's a catch 22 -- a label can either print enough for everyone and hope for a sell out after a few years, making its money back with hopefully some profit or go back to the old days of limited amounts being made thus bringing back the "collectibility" of said cds. Although, the damage is done so it's hard to say if this method of doing business will work again. MV

Though I refuse to believe that markets are dependent on the presence of scalpers. That's a bilious thought.

It occurred to me yesterday -- they're making more to meet the demand, after saying it was limited? This is the "Blade Runner 2049 Ltd. Ed. Soundtrack" thing starting all over again.
