dodger Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hello: They introduced a line of three (3) TT early this year. Actually priced within reason. Win dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 TT's as well huh. Now I am certain they are not serious about SACD. Had my doubts with the absence of players for the car, portables etc. but now I am sure. the big boys are on their way back into vinyl. Happy days!!

Klipschfoot Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Look again. They are mostly singles - DJ cuts. That's hardly a commitment to vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hello: Ther are a couple of companies putting out 180 gram LPs. And, knowing the marketing of Sony, I doubt if they would go back to TTs without a thought to going back to some vinyl. Nostalgic they're not. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason given was (sorry, this is paraphrasing, as I trashed the email) Sony was rethinking their vinyl options in a "fast growing" segment of the marketplace. I took it to mean that either Sony was going to do the vinyl reissues themselves, or maybe negotiate with others. Typical mega-corporate behavior. Watch someone much smaller develope a new or revitalized market, then step in and dominate. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hello: For what it's worth, Rhino and Sun Dazed are two (2) that are doing the 180 gram vinyl. Sony is probably comaparing the sales of the TTs, which they haven't advertised much against their record sales, which they haven't advertised much. This way if there are not enough sales of either their marketing department can say they tried and it was a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Sony may not have the best selection of vinyl right not but if you see something you do like: BUY IT! Their pricing is competitive and they have a free shipping offer this month. I recently bought a couple of Pearl Jam LP's and the Audioslave LP from the Sony Music Store. They're even giving a free Audioslave poster with the purchase, something I can roll up and put in the closet with my other posters. Their current prices are lower than any of the other on-line sellers like Elusive Disc, Red Trumpet, or Music Direct (on those particular titles). If enough people actually buy the vinyl format Sony (and others) just might increase their offerings but if no one buys anything the bean counters will eventually phase it out. Also, support your local stores that do carry vinyl and pester the crap out of the ones that don't. Voting on political issues is free to citizens but if you want the corporations to listen to you it involves letting the moths out of the wallet once in a while. Besides, you need more LP's - getting your butt out of the chair every 15 minutes or so to flip sides is good for the cardiovascular system.

arco Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi, One should not forget that SONY bought CBS records (hence their rights on B. Dylan vinyl releases...), a long time ago. If they ever decide to reenter themselves the vinyl market in a big way, they surely can! FYI, some days ago, SONY also acquired MGM studios. But this, of course, is another story... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
