2011 seemed to be a huge year for vinyl fails:

Watch The Throne - still not out on vinyl. #fail
Phonte - No vinyl. #fail
Common - I would've at least liked a 12" for "Sweet" - No vinyl. #fail.
Greneberg - Didn't include "Jaws" on vinyl release. #FAIL.

The hell is goin on? It's not even a big investment and all 3 would sell.

Feel free to add on...

That's why I thought it'd definitely get a vinyl release.

oh and btw, WTT did come out on vinyl, for like $150

Expensive for an indie maybe, yet they're the main ones pressing vinyl.

Major's have the budget and their own manufacturing, no excuses. Do a small run if you must, but no vinyl at all is unacceptable.

whats funny is that most often they produce the most simple (in a not good way), underwhelming vinyl packages evar.

Yeah they really do.

if you're a business that isn't fiscally conservative, you're one thing... bankrupt.

however, your overlying point is correct

Its just a low profit scenario they'd of course like to avoid. I feel some kinda way about vinyls of super clean glossy music like wtt anyway.. Only certain artists works for me (see Madlib!!!) and happily those guys tend to put out vinyls..

can press up 2 to 3000 copies.

to that phonte. i've been waiting on this since it came out, even holding myself back from listening too much to the album. word is, phonte himself said there will be one 'early this year'. i wonder when's that

Or does the CD/MP3 version also have (what sounds to be) mastering issues?

I have to boost the levels crazy high on a lot of the tracks, and they still sound kinda fucked up.

D'Angelo's new album better be released on vinyl or I'm Occupying the record label's office.

this time with the smiley cover art. Should have never did that.. The alternative cover art should have stuck with the vinyl and vinyl only. Tis the reason why it was so special when I bought it

And all people are looking at these days is numbers, so. . .

But still, especially with major labels, they really have no excuse.

Hip hop on major/big indie labels has been getting the shaft for years though.
