What's with the unecessary "the" in the subject?
Anyway...I like records, but arguments amounting to "ooo, look! bigger artwork!" don't fly with me, 'cos I don't care about any of that stuff. Aesthetics are for people who don't actually like music. :p
I guess I will follow the argument of some others in this thread that very little music has or will ever be re-released on cd. Of course, a lot has and will, but in that case I have to ask: why should I buy it again if its not convenient for me to do so? Isn't that what this is supposed to be about in the first place? I take care of my records and stereo equipment. I don't need or want some remastered, remixed and digitized version of an album that sounds just fine on the record I've had for the past 10 years.
