Hmmmm, I am pretty sure that several of the music stores around here DID have
NIN on vinyl...I'll check next time I'm in one...it's the smaller stores like
the ones on our OSU campus, etc...

the idea isn't to copy onto vinyl....
the idea is to find the 12" single for down in it, the limited edition 
release of pretty hate machine, and anything else that *nails* put 
out on vinyl....hmmm

(sigh)

 i would think its rather hard to find anything modern on vynil.    Good luck,
check your used cd stores, sometimes they might have them, but if its limit
edition, well, bad luck and your screwed.. unless of course youy wait a good
few years and then try

Vinyl did start a slow comeback a couple years ago.

yeah. there is a lot more hype about vinyl, or there has been in the last few
years, not exactly sure why, but i really do think it has something to do with
the whole crazy 70's revival thing.. oi.

i was very upset when my mom donated my turntable to the salvation army one
day while i was at school... (this was hm, gotta be a few years ago now....
ie.... uhm, maybe 4) that wasn't a very nice thing to do... but i can live
w/o one.. i've lived w/o a tape player since mine broke abt. 2 years ago.

Interesting.  I have always wondered about the fascination with vinyl.  I read
an article that said that vinyl often had +dB bias at certain treble
frequencies, as compared to tape and CD, so it often sounded *brighter*.  This
puzzles me when I see that the largest demand in vinyl is for recordings by
industrial and garage groups.  Any further insight?

A *greater* dynamic range?  I don't know about that..sub-bass frequencies
weren't really available in recordings (as far as I can remember) when it was
limited to vinyl.  I'd need to have some sort of proof of that.  I read the
specs for one of the stereos in my house, and the sound parameters (on output)
for the phonograph was described as being on an RIAA curve, as opposed to a
frequency range for the CD and auxilary/video outputs.  (Now-- is there anyone
out there who is a sound engineer that can explain this?)  At the very least,
I would say that vinyl does not have a superior capacity to reproduce
extremely high and extremely low frequencies cleanly.
        I'm not sure now if vinyl recordings are brighter or warmer, but what
the _Stereo Review_ article said was that certain frequencies at mid- to
treble range were boosted by a couple of +db.  It is definitely distortion--
accuracy has nothing to do with it.  The vinyl recording *will not* sound like
it was originally hear din the studio. Most recordings that have been
rereleased as CDs have the following statement:

"The music on this Compact Disc was originally recorded on analog equipment.
We have attempted to preserve, as closely as possible, the sound of the
original recording.  Because of its high resolution, however, the Compact Disc
can reveal limitations of the source tape."

Let me also explain the recording code on most CDs where A= analog, D=
digital.
The first letter is the source tape.  An A or a D will indicate whether it
was recorded digitally, or on analog tape.
The second is the mastering process (transcription).
The third, of course, is the copying process.

As to the "accuracy" of digital vs. analog, it's more about acoustical
properties of the sounds reproduced.  Digital processes tend to refine
frequencies and reduce distortion.  However, some sounds are characteristic
for their distortion.  This is whybrass, string, and saxophone sounds don't
sound quite as true to life on digital synthesizers, as compared to analog
ones.  However, analog synths have a tendency to hum.  To circumvent this,
engineers either remastered analog recordings especially for CD, or designed
CD players with digital/analog (D/A) converters, or filters.  However, this
still resulted in a loss of sound, so most newer CD players have a
digital/analog oscillator (instead of converting analog to digital, the player
moves between the two, at a speed that sounds blended to the human ear).
Oversampling technologies are also used in players.

  I have a record that was cut from 35mm film, and it sounds just like a CD
in response. 

  What I mean is that the audio was not recorded on tape, rather 35mm film,
and somehow that makes the recording more brilliant, and a lot clearer
than the rest of my records (vinyl). The recording is Doc Severnson's
greatest hits. It did translate to audiotape very well, and is almost CD
quality sound.
  You can hear the difference when you play a ordinary record of the same
genre, such as Herb Alpert's "Rise". 

  The label that records from film is Command Records. There is also TelArc
Recording, who uses bizarre recording techniques when recording a CD, but they
do come out sounding a lot better than some of my other CD's do.
