Not much to say yet.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm hoping that we can pick up at about the pace where the womb left off...which wasn't fast.
Here's something I saw the other day (while checking out MM's facebook group for the first time):

From what I can see online, LP sales growth isn't showing much chance of slowing down. I don't know how much of that is back catalog or what, but I wonder...
Is this the future of music?

It has no place to go but up!
Can't argue with that...
Just doing a small amount of research it would seem that a good 90% of what is being called "new releases" is decades old major label stuff along with Adele, Taylor Swift and Jack White.
This makes perfect sense because:
Unless they want to remaster it, all the majors have to do is dust off the masters and send them to replication. Everything is already paid for, the recording, mixing, producing, artwork, promotion, etc and profits already made. No guesswork because the "new" releases were gold/ platinum albums.
For majors, this is gravy -- sales they never thought they'd make after, say, 1990. The same can be said for streaming.
