ah okay, it took me a while to pick it up. stable kills me.

had a change of heart & can appreciate the worth of people dictating audiences to pick up vinyl. just the limited runs that are bugging me.

the limited thing only bugs me when its something you know people will want. like, they could have pressed a thousand and only put out 300. seems kinda mean.

in a lot of cases though people are lucky if they can sell 300 of something. if after the fact it becomes sought after well that's another story.

sure.

yeah, i just don't get why represses aren't some automatic thing?, in response to some kind of gauge for demand. i pretty often sleep on getting things that i really like, justifying getting something that might be rarer first, so this comes back to bite me frequently.

represses aren't some automatic thing a lot of the time because the money made (if any) on a small pressing of records likely went to beer, gasoline or food, especially in the cases of self-released records.
or that's one scenario anyway

Field recordings of Bulgarian folk songs, totally awesome.
