As Doug mentioned that Intrada will be issuing vinyl in the future, probably 3rd quarter 15, a few suggestions:

- adopt cover design that is faithful to the original art / logos of the film. One of the coolest aspects of vinyl is the big cover, please keep it faithful to the original art (I'd love a Jaws The Revenge cover similar to my avatar)
- keep releasing the "as complete as possible" thing on CD, but on vinyl you could experiment with specially arranged albums of 40 min. selections with merged tracks, etc. Provided the complete thing is available on Cd the vinyl can stick to the "album" concept - as it is anoying to have to flip sides 2-3 times for a xx min score.
- keep the same transparency you already have for the cds about the quality of the source used (pure analogue, resolution of the digital source, etc, so we know if the vinyl might sound "better" than the cd.
- more importantly: please no "exclusive on vinyl" material. I like vinyls and recently acquired a new turntable. But I keep tranfering my music to digital and trasferring it to iPods, please keep all stuf available in digital form.

Vinyl records are not for me, but I wonder what kind of titles today's new adopters of the format prefer. That is assuming most of them actually play these things and not buy them just for their own art exhibit.

For instance, would they be more inclined to buy a vinyl release of Bernstein's See No Evil (which would admittedly be a neat idea for the format) or a vinyl release of Silvestri's Captain America? To put it another way, do they generally prefer scores from before they were born or the stuff they grew up on in ultra loud movie theaters?

i'm all for this. i started with vinyl and still play the soundtrack lp's i collected as a kid - i've yet to upgrade Robocop or Frantic because the newer cds might not stand much of a chance if i did, it's not just an attachment either, it's the programs, the sound, and the different atmosphere vinyl brings.
