Up until my housemate came home I had it jammin' so hard the bathroom mirror was buzzing.

AWESOME!

I don't even bother with those arguments any more but I'll bet you this. Vinyl will still be being played when the last CD hits the landfill.

How come this Shearing cd collection is so expensive when the vinyl of these concerts can be found for pennies at the Salvation Army?

case closed.

And, in a couple of years, you'll be able to buy those Shearing CDs for $1.99 at SA or GW.

And what a seller wants isn't necessarily what a seller can get.

So, we'll see. I still think I'm right. CD sales are continuing to drop while vinyl sales are on the rise. The mass market will be Hi-Res downloads, CDs will disappear and "audiophiles" and collectors will play vinyl.

I think there will always be demand for CDs as "vinyl lite". Tangible, yet convenient.

The Mosaic jazz collections are very expensive...that Shearing collection has been getting those prices for a long time now. Even at $100 that is still pretty expensive for some cds.

The quality control on new vinyl is atrocious by the way.

Those Mosaic box sets have yet to make an appearance at any places I go to.
