I was lamenting the demise of vinyl and CD's just after last Christmas and wrote the following for the Corfid Group:

I feel that my observation has shown to be true and is continuing unabated. I feel that kids today will miss the "album concept" experience. Browsing the bins at music stores is a dying experience as well. Sad......

Can anyone imagine not having Lightfoot's 'Back Here On Earth', 'Summertime Dream', 'Summer Side Of Life', 'Don Quiote', 'Old Dan's Records', 'Shadows'. or perhaps 'A Painter Passing Through' as their entire works but just as individual song downloads in a "digital musical soup" with no song linked to another. What a sterile world!
