 As I posted earlier on Facebook............

Sad news 
The joy of going down to the record shop on the release day of their artists new album and buying it is something that will be a mystery to future generations.
The excitement of walking into the shop, seeing the rows of the album, taking YOUR copy to the counter and actually handing over money, then getting the album back in one of those little bags. It was an EVENT! I don't think there is much magic in clicking a button to download your music and watching a status bar. The CD itself, the great cover art, the lyric sheets and liner notes, they are all being consigned to the history books. We are losing something important here.
