On one level this is a story of #monopoly & control, and the role on global #corporations in the #music business;

but on another, as a #vinyl obsessive, who never got rid of my record collection (and of course use it regularly in my alter-ego #ProfDJ), it is strangely gratifying to see the industry getting in a pickle about the distribution of #vinylrecords

makes me nostalgic for when (a long time ago) I was working in record (and it was records!) retail!
