Is orinoco describing the "slimline" 2-CD case which is just as thick as a
normal single-CD case? I've found them becoming quite common, especially
in budget classical packages.

Right, but there are two kinds of slimline cases. The one I've seen usually
opens like a book - front cover, CD holder, and back cover are all attatched
to one hinge on the left. This new one folds out instead, with the CD holder
attatched to the _right_ of the back cover.

Wasn't the rerelease of the Star Wars soundtrack in that kind? Or maybe it
was book-like, I'm not sure.

Well, it finally happened. In party, some young whippersnapper
asked me: "What's an LP?"

A question whose time has come, I suppose. It's been what, about ten
years since the CD medium took over and record companies pretty much
stopped manufacturing vinyl recordings?

(ugh. I admit that I rarely buy LPs these days, but I *do* still
buy vinyl, much more often than cassettes.)

I occasionally buy some used vinyl, but I'd rather have CDs in most cases.
Yes, I still have about 15 inches of vinyl on my shelf from the pre-CD days.
I won't be throwing that away anytime soon.

I have about 15 inches of vinyl in the used vinyl to be reviewed
pile now.

Sheesh, I have about 6 feet of vinyl, and I wish I listened to it more often
but my current turntable is inconvenient and has a noise problem. A new TT
is on my must get list.

6 feet long, or shelves up to the six foot mark? Yes, I used
to have a vinyl monkey on my back.
Check out Kiwanis on Saturday morning for their selection of
Truntables. Also Acutronics onState deals with working, older
equipment also.
Consider the fate of the consumer reel-to-reel. As cassettes
became the media for music on tape in the 70's, the market for
lower priced reel-to-reels dropped out. Then only higher priced,
higher quality r-t-rs remained on the market. Same has happened
with turntables--no more cheap Gerards around. Find a good working
Dual (used) or a good new one if you want to still retreive your
music from LPs.

6 feet linear, sorry. I'm probably going to buy a higher-end model to do
some serious transcription work.

So how long will it take you to work through two feet of LPs?
(Argh, I still have several hundred LPs which I bought in the
1980s which never got played, and some day I should really clean them
out.)

A damn long time, but now I have a pretty good classical selection, something
I lacked before.

Whenever I go to flea markets or the like, I always find myself coming out
with piles of $0.50, $1 and $2 LP's. Its usually music that I haven't been
able to find on cassette or CD. What's funny is that I don't have a turntable
and nobody I know has one either. I'm going to have to go ahead and buy one
eventually, I guess. I have about 70 LP's I've never listened to.
By the way, just in case you're curious, the first one I'm going to listen
to also happens to be an album I've never heard at all, Joan Baez's self
titled debut album. I'm really excited!

I have a turntable. Not the best, but I have one. And even one that
plays 78s.

i have a NIN cd, Sex, Pain, and Rock and Roll, that my uncle gave me. it is
a live recording, and it came with a small catalog in the insert, with a list
of other cds that Razor Blade Records has. However, ther is no contact info
for them, so i cant order any more cds.
Does anyone else know of any info about Razor Blade?

I don't know, but have you asked local music retailers? Since they do special
orders, they'd likely have some kind of info.

A web search indicates that Razor Blade Records is a bootleg label.
(I should have picked that up from your description of the NIN cd
as "live.") This is why they don't have any contact information.
Most record stores are not going to be able to help you order any
of these discs, and any that might are probably breaking the law
and would not appreciate any online publicity.
Welcome to the grey market!

Here's an item from a Gannett wire service story about people who are
clinging to turntables and 8-tracks. A laser turntable is now for sale:
see the we page at http://www.elpj.com. All you need is $13,000.
The table is called the ELP.
This is not new technology -- a laser table came to market very briefly
in the late 1980s, which was poor timing because most of the market was
rushing to CDs at that time.

Last I was at the Music School library at the U of M, they had a whole bunch
of laser turntables.
