The music industry is to try yet another physical music format with the unholy marriage of the CD and analogue vinyl. The vinyl disc with have a standard CD on one side and a vinyl record on the other. The obvious
shortcoming being that whilst the CD side can hold up to 70 minutes of audio the restricted size of the disc will mean that barely 3 minutes can be squeezed onto the vinyl side so it’s going to be more suited to tracks that fit that length. The first artist to release on the VinylDisc format will be Fightstar ,the group that features the posh and heavily eyebrowed former member of busted. A limited 3,000 disc run will be available with each VinylDisc costing £2.99.
My only concern is that whereas the common shorthand for Compact disc is CD, does this will mean that the shorthand for VinylDisc will be..er..VD. Hmmm
