I do agree with nearly all that was said above and have far too many original albums in my collection.

I doubt that there will ever be a solution that is satisfactory to all concerned. I realize I risked offending someone by making my request and potentially because I have trouble with the whole system since there are a few people who have become millionaires by just running/owning the record companies. When even established artists receive only a small percentage of the purchase price of an album, it is frustrating to imagine how little of the price of a new CD is going to the persons who are the true creative forces.
