Sorry Carlos, I realize all of that. But it doesn't mean I like it (and agree with it) nor does it mean I'm gonna be buying as much vinyl in the future as I do now. I'm not gonna delve into the pros and cons (well mostly cons) of having more tunes pressed on one side, I believe it's been covered many times before. I've spent around 2000 pounds on new vinyl releases in the last 12 months, not to mention another few thousands on the stuff that's sold out and I had to search for it elsewhere. I might be wrong but if people like me will stop buying vinyl for any reason, labels will have a hard time to sell it to anyone else...
Of course not, fair enough man - I just saw so many negativ comments in regards to this approach altho (mostly) they're just doing it to make it financially viable so I had to say something. Obviously I can't speak for all the labels but at least for us and lots of smaller labels you need to take this into account. It's not like we all wouldn't want to press 5x12'' LPs but it's just not doable apart from accepting to lose alot of money and with bigger labels probably not making enough money to make it worth the whole work you need to change & adapt.
