No CDs this time, but the first in our new line of 180-gram vinyl. It's a reissue of a long out of print Intrada CD in the low-budget horror/fantasy realm by a composer we love in that genre from the mid 80s. Features all new custom art.
How many people actually buy LPs? Like, what's the ratio of people that buy LPs to people that buy CDs? Just curious. I'm surprised at the trend of releasing scores on LPs lately more frequently, thus on CD less frequently one might presume (or one might not). I just don't understand. Personally, I am only interested in CDs. If some people dig LPs, I am happy for them for sure but I am disappointed whenever an LP is announced in lieu of a CD to be honest, because it's one more time I'll miss out.

I'm curious as well. With the recent Varese release of the Nightmare on Elm Street set on CD, I google'd to see the reaction on other boards and even horror fora. I was surprised to find people asking if this was an LP release and being disappointed it was only CD. Now I know there are quite a few specialty labels catering to horror fans with limited vinyl editions with new artwork, but I was still surprised by such reactions.
I hope intrada can benefit from that market, they have a lot of great titles to put out on vinyl.
They already said it was WARLOCK, why bother with clues?
Warlock isn´t a long out of print as it was released complete a couple of months back and the movie wasn´t released in the mid 80´s as it was released in 1989.
I think it is Chris Youngs Invasion from Mars or Goldies Link

If Intrada and the other labels make money from this all is good. More revenue for more releases.
But, are ppl actually listening to these albums? In this day and age where everyone is listening to their music on the go, I just don't understand this fad.

It boggles my mind too. Maybe they're all buying these things hoping they can sell them for some astronomical market which will subsequently collapse. Or maybe there is some experience of holding a giant LP and fiddling with a turntable that thrill them?

A strange fad, indeed. It just seems like pure nostalgia to me. But whatever blows one's hair back, eh?
