Yes, completely agree!!!
I stopped buying CeeDees, and started buying USED vinyl.
As far as I am concerned the big music industry can go to "H".
Clearly the music industry got some crazy idea after CeeDees started, and nearly everyone bought all the back catalog all over again.
I remember back in 1984 the high prices of CeeDees were said to be "only temporary' and the big companies said once the format was 'settled' the prices would drop. That never happened. The majors just sucked in the money and got very, very lazy.
Who needs artists?
Who needs talent?
We sell a product and the public will buy what we tell them to buy...
That is over.
The majors still think they are a big business... They are just DINOSAURS on a death bed.
Too bad they got all that money from all of us suckers from the CeeDee sales.
Even the recent Price fixing court ordered payout, The major music industry folks just got rid of millions of useless cutout CeeDees. Every Library and school in the U.S.A. got thousands of worthless CeeDees.
For example, 1,200 copies of Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangled Banner single to ONE library. And SEVERAL different places got thousands of the same. What is THAT supposed to be? Patriotic or idiotic? It's just a typical rip off. The settlement was SUPPOSED to be quality CeeDees from the catalogs... NADA... not ONE of the CeeDees they sent out (By the millions!!) to any library had ANY value to any collection. They were ALL JUNK overstock of unsaleable cutouts.
Such generosity from your court ordered Major manufacturers?
They suck, bigtime, I hope the all die off like good dinosaurs, SOON!
