Well, I still use my Technics, because you find a lot of new, unknown artists here in the UK still bring out 7" vinyl records - probably percieved to be "cool" by alternative radio DJs, I'd've thought.
I still prefer getting the tracks on CD though - easier to put into my Network Walkman. If three 7" singles come out in Germany, that'd be cute to track down and own.
As for 'Waiting For The Sirens's' call in the UK, we're not allowed any more than three formats, and aren't we getting a CD, 12" and DVD single? If 'WFTSC' isn't going on 'Item', that would make sense.
I'd hold your breath for a US maxi-CD. What of all these 'Guilt Is A Useless Emotion' mixes we were hearing about though?
