WITH Elton John's tribute to Princess Diana and the joint-venture album between BBC and PolyGram featuring Earl Spencer's tribute and recordings by Tony Blair and Diana's sisters being produced on CD and tape format only, a large majority of the population will be deprived once again.
Not everyone wants or needs CD.
The long-familiar vinyl records have still retained their popularity despite being axed from production; not least because of the wealth of nostalgic and unique recordings, many of which will never be found on CD.
The problem is the music industry today is controlled by intolerant whizz kids.
Turntable machines and records are still being sold at car boot and second-hand shops. Long live vinyl's golden oldies!
