Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Re: "Total Freakout Vol. 33" -- I think it's only the fourth volume in this series, but the first on a vinyl LP (hence "33"). More of these comps are moving to vinyl only because the CDs just don't do the margins anymore... Better to press up a low volume of vinyl and charge a higher premium.
Just thinkin' and ramblin' here...

That is driven by the ears/wants of the consumer and the hands of the mastering engineer -- that's not inherent in the format.

That said, most music is mixed for compression driver earbuds, so it's all the same.

Resale is a good point. CDs have none. Still, my music is decidedly digital given my opportunities to enjoy. (Work, car, late night radio via computer, that kind of stuff.)
