Since some people are relating their purchases here, this is what the
crate-trolling yielded:
- A Steve Masters acid record from '89 (probably ridiculously naff -
why I bought it).
- An Ellery Cowles 12" bought on spec - I liked his Djax stuff.
- (4) old school jungle 12"s at a buck apiece
- An old Basic Channel 12" in great shape for one buck (some fool let
this go) - it has the NSC etching.
- An old Frictional 12"
- A Rahsaan Roland Kirk double 12"
The stuff above was all used vinyl - the stuff below was bought new.
- A new Detroit Grand Pubahs 12 " ("Thanks for Coming")
- A new Villalobos 12" (I'm unsure about the guy, but I thought I'd
give it a try)
- A new 12" with a couple of the Model 500 "Starlight" remixes
- a bunch of CDs ( a mixture of jazz and electronic stuff), but I won't
talk about them.

Vinyl still sells. In fact some labels are doing _very_ well selling
vinyl. I might point to certain (mostly) bootleg label.
Digital sells, but it's not as easy to manage/produce content as you
might think, or as it is to buy. It's also not as fulfilling for many
artists and labels. It's not always all about the consumer. Music is
and always will be art as well as a commercial product.

I don't know about the NSC etchings (RIP, Ron), but I was just digging in
crates for vinyl not an hour ago (found some, too). You can't put your hands
on an MP3...

The days of digging crates for vinyl with nsc etchings are passed.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, I can see labels/distributors doing
small runs and still keeping the quality release up. I know a lot of people
think vinyl is a pain in the jack adams but I still love the process dearly.
