So you think it's okay to pay more for less?  Do you think the ordinary customer knew that it was an alleged "collector's item" only? I rather believe the release was a concession to the few people who didn't own a CD player yet back in the early 1990s. (I bought my first CD player in 1991, for example, and continued buying records anyway.) I'm sure people did not consider it as much as a collector's item then as members of this forum do nowadays.

Maybe it wasnt a release aimed at the ordinary customer? Look at the 3 format singles for bat3 for example. I doubt that a regular music buyer would go for the dvd with the video or the picture disc, they'd simply buy the regular single. The other two formats were relased to satisfy and scam (
lol) the fans, and I think it might have been the same with the Bat2 vinyl. It's most likely the case with the pic disc anyway IMO.

The point is that a vinyl record has a different sound spectrum than a CD. Numerous new albums are released on vinyl again, too, although this is the "CD era" and people buy the records for playing them and listening to them, not as collector's items. I'm sure an excellent production like Bat II would sound pretty interesting on a good record.

I didnt doubt that. My point was, that the two virgin bat2 vinyl releases have a poor quality, and that this is most likely due them not actually being supposed to be played. (thats my opinion anyway)
