I didn't think 13,000 was a lot.  Certainly more than 2,000 -- but that's
small for anything.  I used to work in a used CD store and did not EVER see
a copy of this album anywhere.  This was odd because such a release is
fodder for the bargain bins.  Not by quality, but by popularity.  I mean, I
found Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
albums in those bins, and bought them for next to nothing.  I'm the hired
gun of all record stores in the Indianapolis area, as I have been offered a
job and/or know the owner of all of them.  It's like Clint Eastwood in that
one movie, 'cept I stock CDs instead of kill people.

Is this true, or just something you vinyl junkies make up to stroke your
egos?  I know that old albums DO sound better on vinyl (and I do collect
LPs, you know), but in my experience, albums recorded for the purpose of CD
recording sound no better on vinyl.

And what exactly are Export A's and why am I not cool enough to partake in
their robust flavor?
