It's a problem that more and more reggae releases are digital only. I must have physical, and it is frustrating that even old school names are going digital only. Reggae is not about digital streaming. Reggae is sound systems and vinyl 45s, history, and CD for the practical collectors. Without the CD's, where does that leave the anoraks, the true fans? We need the physical product, lovingly remastered and studiously annotated.
