I totally agree. I never claimed that listening to CDs or MP3s is bad.

My comment was rather directed to RadioMaster's "
people who wanted to listen to the music bought the CD or the MC" because there are different ways in which you can / might want to listen to music. And, as I already mentioned, the
Bat II vinyl was not cheap when it came out, so people who bought it then probably did not purchase it because of the larger cover only.
evil nickname is right, the Virgin record does not sound very good. It's not that horrible, if you don't listen attentively it might not bother you that much but compared to other Meat Loaf vinyls the sound quality is rather poor. Which is a pity because songs like that could have sounded great on a high-quality vinyl record (especially a song like
Out Of The Frying Pan).

I own some CDs that sound bad on any equipment as well as a few records that sound horrible. But I have some records that even sound amazing when being played on a record player that is connected to a very old, crappy guitar amp.

A good product is a good product, a bad product is a bad product, no matter on which format.
