Could I make the case that all the "popular" classic records have all been reissued on vinyl (audiophile versions too) and people interested have already purchased them? Thus slower sales of vinyl are the result? Blue Note is now reissuing more obscure or less famous titles that probably do not appeal to nonjazz diehards. Plus, I actually think the whole MoFi controversy has made some buyers much pickier in the audiophile release area (not buying everything that comes out). Many of the younger buyers are generally more into the colored vinyl, special edition thing. More like a comic book thing. I’m not certain sound quality has anything to do with their purchase.
How many more "Kind of Blue" reissues can one have?
I always thought the vinyl resurgence was due to cheap, used vinyl. Now that the once-used $1 bin Journey ESCAPE LP is now $35 +, Vinyl popularity is bound to wain a little.
