Hi Windsor,

they are still putting out 7" vinyl over here, but it's only small to medium size companies and always limited quantities. The major chart stuff very rarely happens along.

I started working in Record shops about 6 months after the Punk thing kicked off and the 7" was really king at that time, the problem was lots of small indie lables started up, which at the time was brilliant, but has they bit into the majors cake, the majors bit back, signing up the bands and then dumping them just as quick (sound familiar). This seems to be the waywith any succesful buisiness, it gets taken over and then dumped or laid to waste. Then people wonder why we are in a global ressesion !!

Anyway moan over, good luck with the search, the box set sounds good though, especially with the solo stuff as well. Why not get the box set and then when you do find the vinyls, sell the CDs here on eBid.

Cheers Mel
