‘Well I really don’t think that vinyl buyers are swayed one way or another by free copies of files on the internet. CD buyers perhaps, or even legitimate downloaders, but your average vinyl collector probably would either buy the thing anyway or would just never buy it in the first place’

As I can testify to all too well….

But its a great feeling when you do actually pick up something of a bargain on e-bay….although it is becoming more and more difficult.

That, China, is because you ar… NO! What I meant was, don’t worry about it – surely that’s the point? Having cool stuff so that when your friends come round you can play them good tunes. Just that most of my friends happen to be in teh internetz.

Nice job, eh Col? I like it a lot. There style and the structure of their songs don’t change much, but I really like what they do.

Oh, I don’t mean that posting it will prevent copies of it from being sold, just that I almost feel terrible downloading the song knowing how much you’ve gone through the trouble of paying for it. If anything, I feel cheap!

I don’t even know if this is available as a download anywhere. Maybe it is and I’m just eating into their sales, but given they’ve sold out of the vinyl anyway, hence the need to rush to eBay, they should be happy in any case, I’d have thought.

I think it’s funny that you spent so much on a single that you’ve shared for free! Mrs. Toad is indeed a winner.

Mentok, I think you may be onto something there. She was even the one who insisted I put the word bitches in the title of the post.

Clearly, you don’t need to be told this, but that gal’s a keeper! I trust you wake up every morning, look over and think “I’m a lucky bastard”.

Nah, why would you sell it. The hysteria will die down in a little while and the silly price for Square Go should come down. Depending on how well the debut album goes down of course…

That’s just nuts! I see that the Daddy’s Gone 7 inch I bought that time we went to Rough Trade is fetching pretty money now too. Shall I sell it? oooh…

Wishing I had bought that My Own Cheating Heart 7 now. Then again, I’ve got a few 7s that are worth a lot, but never sell them.
