Reviews!
From the Feb. '99 issue of "One to One" International Music Trade Magazine article entitled, "Let the Circle be Unbroken."

"Nothing sounds like a record -- that's why everyone still calls everything with music on it just that."

"The people who are asking for vinyl have changed over the years in that the ones asking for it today have a real passion for the format. They are listening to it on very, very good record players."

"The passion for vinyl remains high and is joined by an almost rabid corps of adherents who demand the format regularly for their releases and whose ardour transcends mere business considerations."
