Forgive me if this has been mentioned here, but I noticed that Doug Fake of Intrada posted on Thanksgiving that Intrada is working on several LPs (the kids now call them "vinyls"). Says he…
Our own label has no less than five upcoming 180 gram premium vinyl releases in pre-production now, including at least one title that will probably be exclusive on vinyl and another one that will be greatly expanded from what it once was.
An interesting and sure-to-be controversial development, no? (I have no idea if the vinyl exclusive(s) will be done that way for contractual or creative reasons.)
I admire Intrada and wish them well. I am unlikely to buy a turntable, though. I have no room for it, and while I'm sure the sound will be terrific, this just doesn't fit my lifestyle, for better or worse. (I was also never a very good LP-owner. They always scratched, no matter how well I thought I was taking care of them.) Still, I doubt there will be any shortage of good ol' CDs for me to buy, and I'm not delusional enough to believe every release should be made for me.

I believe this is called flailing when CD sales seem to be down for a lot of titles. Flailing can work, and flailing can fail. There is nothing like a flail fail, but whether this will succeed or flail is unknown at this time.
We almost did a vinyl release for the new Sandy Bainum album, but frankly it just wasn't worth either the cost or effort. The kiddies today are, of course, in their vinyl is cool mode - that will change as soon as they figure out the next cool thing - but the kiddies are very specific about what vinyl they buy.

I don't think this is flailing...Vinyl sales are up something like 1000% from last year. Mondo, Waxworks, Light in the Attic, all of those do limited vinyl records that sell out in minutes.
No idea why this would be viewed as flailing. I call it business development. We've been scrutinzing the vinyl market for some time and it was a measured decision with a specific strategy involved. I was in Barnes & Noble last week and they have a new display for vinyl, including soundtracks. Is it a passing rage? Probably, but we'll ride the wave while it lasts and not sit on the sidelines and let it pass.

Intersting. I buy the occasional vinyl release of an album I especially like, although in those cases I always own the CD as well, since vinyl is fun for listening on a proper home stereo system, but not an especially useful format when it comes to ripping it into a computer to put on a portable player, etc.
It was recently reported that vinyl sales (in the UK) are at an 18 year high, and I do notice that a local store near me in Toronto that sells both used and new vinyl is doing quite a lot of business.

I'm, and I'm sure others, will be more than happy to sit on the sidelines and let you have it all to yourselves. Or maybe others will jump on it. It doesn't really interest me because most of what we would do would be two disc sets as the 180 gram folks don't really recommend more than seventeen minutes a side. So, have at it.

We have about 6-10 vinyls planned for 2015 as well. No reason why mondo and the likes should make money off our projects. We'll have deluxe packaging original artwork...the works. Might as well make a couple bucks.

MV, I know I've asked you this before. Would you consider doing a Max Steiner CD(s) for 2015? You said in the past you might possibly do this in 2015. Thanks!

Of course you do.
Our only regret is that we didn't do this a few years ago when the studios came to us and asked if we wanted to do them or not. We passed at the time only to see others make off with some good scratch.

I don't think Steiner made the cut for next year. Tiomkin, Waxman, North, and possibly Herrmann are coming though.

Thanks MV for the good news! Getting the LLL Shane was a dream come true for me, I wanted the score for nearly 50 years! A Certain Smile is beautiful, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was another of my most wanted scores, etc. Please try to issue the golden age CDs best you can!

All to ourselves? I wish. I tried to get our Robocop license renewed and lost it to a label doing it on vinyl. And a holy grail release I've been after for years is coming out in vinly only by someone else. Check this out:
