The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

I gotta say that when it comes to nostalgia, tapes are what hit me hardest. Even though I never buy tapes nowadays I ONLY had tapes in my early teenage years and earlier. Then came vinyl and CDs. I love vinyl but CDs win with regard to listening in the car (which is where I listen to music most now...) But I hate having a band's catalogue split where I have, say the first three albums on vinlys, the fourth on CD etc., here I try to have either the entire catalogue on CD or on vinyl unless this is totally impossible.

Still, that being said, I prefer the vinyl discussions on this board over the CD ones!

nowadays i only buy cds, had a 500 vinyl collection that has been reduced to 150+-(the ones i had that i like most). since a few years ago until now its only cds that i buy

I just can't bring myself to buy tapes anymore - too many damaged favourite albums due to ageing tape-players!

To me it seems that the idea of collecting cds has really grown in the last few years- the same as how a few years ago t-shirt collecting suddenly got huge out of the blue (both of which I don't understand, but if that's what people are into so be it).

cd is just a convenient format for me- sure I still buy them, but I don't treat them like I do my vinyl

Nice! With few bands I ment actually, that f. ex I love Bathory but do not get into 99% of copycats, I love Cannibal Corpse but can not get into hordes of copycats, love Blasphemy /Beherit but just can not get into this war metal thing (Heretic, Proclamation, Morbosidad etc etc).

come'on man, you have the best handball team.

Recently Amnesia - Unknown Entity CD went for 60$+, and at the same time nobody is bothered to buy it on Vinyl for 8GBP:

http://cgi.ebay.pl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 0211525219

Is this a proof that the OOP CDs are now on top like the thread title would suggest, or it is just much more rare on CD?

The latter. Tourniquet's Stop the Bleeding can be also found for 10€ on CD, while the LP is a bitch to find on the other hand for example ...

Roco - let me know when you want to get rid of your CDs

What bothers me with CD the most is all these bootlegs / reissues that are floating around as I always want to have the original 1st press. Some examples like that Master Project thing or now Entropy makes me want to get rid of all the CDs and go in for the vinyl too haha (although even that market isn't completely safe - Dave Richards etc.??).

This weekend I'm buying my first real turntable - nothing special, but still far better than the turntable on 30 years old stereo I have now - after that the vinyl hunt begins

I think it's best to treat avoiding all these bootlegs as a challenge

And I wouldn't call the Entropy re-releases "bootlegs" - the band is re-releasing them, they are probabily just as legitimate as the old pressings. Weren't the first pressings also self-released by the band?

Who's telling that the Entropy cds were reissues? Because M-A says that it's from Inazone records?

that's my point too, just can't buy those prices that cd's go today ...
i would rather have for example first two Angel dust albums on vinyl now
than waiting for my luck to still get them on original cd's
