VIP Classics - 29-Oct-09 04:58 PM
Some collectors will hate this label, because they fear their hard-to-find oldskool gadgets to become "worthless", others will celebrate its birth, because these represses are within everyone's reach now, for a reasonable price and on mint vinyl.
In my opinion, good tunes always keep their value (regardless how many times they are repressed) and the quality of records should not be judged by the crazy amounts that some people are willing to pay for them. If you take the risk to pay a lot of money for one record, you should also consider that it may once loose its exclusivity.
Besides, there is still a whole load of awesome, exclusive tracks left that are not repressed, not because these are bad tunes, but because they are not hyped so much.
Also, a lot of "haters" still have one or more of these represses in their collection.
So please, don't believe the hype, and let's concentrate on saving the vinyl.
