| Hey All
Yep...Im with Dan on this.....collectiing is still a bit of an addiction. I have a few bits and pieces that I would say were/are desirable. I still have my copy of the Crues "Too Fast for Love" on the Leathur Record label (2nd pressing) I told my friends at the time that this band would be big!! Had all kinds of picture discs, colored vinyls etc. I gave most of my vinyl to my buddy Dave when I emmigrated out here....I simply could not carry/ship everything I owned.....
I sincereley hope that music does NOT become all streaming downloads. I like to have a collection...Something I can hold, read...show off....I like having sleeve notes, pictures...general info....its part of the package. I love scanning through Craigslist, Ebay etc for rarities, promos etc. If we go streaming...oh yeah...I can get my music at a push of a button....but how more bloody boring could you get!!!???
Over the last 30 odd years I spent many a happy afternoon wandering around music stores with my friends looking for additions to my collection. Its a social thing ...I still get the odd hour or two in my local record shop here in Phx, find the odd CD, or a single song, that I didnt have., ...its a habit!!
It would be sad to lose all that. Then there is the loss of jobs and manufacturing, shipping etc.....not fun....
Loving this whole TS back catalog re-issue thang....giddy as hell...its been the best year yet....just hoping we can get at least one Christmas show and some dates next year.
