Quotewiredallnight Why should I buy vinyl records in mono? It's like buying a VHS cassette in black & white. Stereo for consumer use was first introduced in 1958. In the late 1950s and in the 1960s most LPs were usually released in separate mono and stereo versions. Singles were always in mono up until the late 1960s. In the late 1950s stereo LPs had a market share of well under 20% in

QuoteIrix QuoteMrEcho The extension of the protection from 50 to 70 years does not have anything to do with date of fixation (= recording) that defines recordings that are protected.

QuoteIrix QuoteMrEcho But as far as I know all EU member states (following the lead of the countries with the most important markets for "phonograms", Germany and the UK) have agreed upon 1963 as the cut-off date.

QuoteGasLightStreet The Cult gave up the stardom that they had created, with momentum, in the mid to late 1980s with jangly rocking singles and playing arenas to playing theatres with dead end singles and heavy albums. After that they went back to being what they started out as - an artsy indie punk band only with heavy rock touches. After not duplicating their 1989 success of SONIC TEMPL

I have seen shows all over Europe and in the US (Rolling Stones and other acts), but the worst-organized shows were the German shows. In some cases it seems like a miracle that no one got hurt. In most cases the problem was inadequate crowd control and lack of information outside of the venues before the shows. In several cases there were no barriers/wavebreakers outside of the entrances, people
