When the new Gong album came out last year I bought the double gate-fold vinyl edition which came with a poster and a CD, so you didn't actually have to play the vinyl, which to date, I never have!

Early music vinyl is another issue. With early music CDs you've got 70 minutes plus of music on there; I put on a CD, settle down with the booklet (especially Alia Vox editions which can be prety elaborate in that respect - like THIS for example - 2 CDs in a deluxe hardback book!) and I'm away for the morning. With early music vinyl on the other hand, the most you'll ever get is 30-minutes a side, which is pushing it, which a lot of the old L'Oiseau-Lyre albums did, the ones by Anthony Rooley and the Consort of Musicke in particular, so one can still immerse, but with less damage to the day.
