A truly remarkable woman. RIP to the notorious RBG. NBC obit.

And that makes the streaming-to-sold figures more conservative, do they not?

Sorry PVC fans, but all this report shows is that CD sales continue to decline to the point where they may be eclipsed by vinyl, which itself accounts for only a small fraction of music consumption. Streaming accounts for 78 percent of music consumption in the U.S. compared to physical and digital music sales.

I'm more inclined to believe the report of a hoax is, in fact, the real hoax. The article you linked is published by Mediamass, a parody news site. The second clue? The author of the piece is Jessica Simpson?!?

a stupid thread is getting stupider.

Spotify has 'em.

Thanks Larry for reminding me of this excellent date. Both volumes of Philly Gumbo are available to stream on Spotify. Search under album title because the artist is listed as "Various Artists".

Thank you, Mr. Persip. Two of my favorites:

We're not talking about another reissue, or a quartet recording of jazz standards. It's the culmination of a years-long effort by a large cast of impeccable musicians to create an original and lasting piece of art. Purchasing this set also helps insure that Maria can continue to compose, arrange and conduct music that makes a difference to some of us. As someone who contributed more than the minimum to make this project possible, I have no regrets and will continue to support Maria every chance I get.

My guess is neither. The back of the LP says, "Manufactured under license by Uptown Records by Premium Cool Records." It's a limited vinyl-only release to mark RSD 2020.

Larry Coryell comes to mind.

Stop beating around the bush, Kev, and tell us how you really feel.
