Alot of people say vinyl dosnt sell, vinyl is dead etc.
is this realy true?
is vinyl still profitable?

The reason it doesn't sell is because people don't put it out, and therefore people don't look to buy. People need to stop being so short-sighted and get more vinyl out there, otherwise vinyl will die a death and will be an obsolete format in grime.

Exactly, and to be honest Vinyl is doing well in Genres such as Dubstep and Bassline. Even with the digital age its still doing allot because its DJ/Club based! Grime needs to get back to its roots like most of you have heard me say. Its lost its way and trying to be something its not, and thats in my own eyes everyone fault from the MC to the fan. They give them a false channel U hype and act like they are major stars when they are defiantly not! Mcs need to up the levels and put the graft in! If they or their managment dont even want to invest in vinyl anymore? It shows they arent confident about there own product, shows they dont want to support the DJs or club scene and end of the day if there not willing to pay to get there own product out there why on earth would they expect any of us to buy it?

I love vinyl man. I was saying for time that I wanted a decent online store and all that because vinyl isn't there as much anymore but boy, it's just not the same.
Been messing with CDJs recently but I just couldn't get into them man, it's just not the same.

Vinyl >>> ________
People need to realise.

Yeah man, we always have! Its the Artists who deserted the stores like ours not us. We where the first to even talk about selling T-shirts and the first god knows how many BBK Tees where sold in Uptown.

We do next day delivery if you order before 4pm, that means you can order at 1pm and have it at your yard next morning! Most shops couldn't even reply to an email or return a phone call in that time lol :D

[Alias?]

Jenai speaking more sense but trust i have spoken to other independents who are willing to really help me push grime cos they want to stock more of it but its not available. Anyways...soon come.

i dont understand it.

It doesn't really mean alot. Each member can leave positive or negative rep for each person. We won't be using it to messure users, or for anything as far as i'm aware at the moment.

[Jenai]

Its true people/stores do want to stock more of it! Just not at silly prices and well made music! Anything unmasterd on Vinyl is just not a good look lol
