hahaha the people behing that ad would be turning in their tombs.
Television killed the vaudeville star
video killed the radio star
Ipod killed audiophilia (not)
Vinyl killed live performances.
The ad surely came out before Beatles at Shea Stadium?
 
LPs are frequently referred to as "bakelite" (somewhat pejoratively, as old-fashioned, inferior sounding, popping, hissing media in contrast to "modern" CDs) by the younger generation in my contry... Those better informed call it "vinyl"...
 
I took this as a joke anyway!
However, on a serious note, it does annoy me that the recording industry is always complaining about being ripped off. Fair enough, if people are copying their friends' records and cd's, then they are actually depriving the industry of legitimate profit. But how many times has the industry deliberately done something like take advantage of an up-and-coming band, and tied them to a lifetime contract, and all its attendant complications, because the band were too inexperienced to know any better?
Hence the proliferation of independent labels to enable bands to flourish without contractual shackles. Industry heal thyself!
