The Prog Rock Album Club

I just meant that anyone who thinks they are doing right by the band by using Spotify, may not be doing as good as they think. Unless that band is Metallica. I rely a lot on YouTube, who are covered by non-disclosure eagreements, but they won't be any better than Spotify or Pandora.

There was a slogan along the lines of, 'Home taping is killing music.' It didn't and I bought most, if not all, of the albums I recorded anyway. After that I bought them again on CD, but stopped at the remasters and bonus tracks etc. I have even bought CDs and got home to find they were mastered from vinyl.

I admit I've downloaded albums that I could not find or were out of print, along with a few bootlegs, but I do not see record companies going out of business because of me.
