Those of you lucky enough to recieve DJ Promos from promotion companies will no doubt have noticed that more and more are being sent via MP3 service or direct downloads from the Promo Website.
Announced today by one of the UK biggest INDIE music promo companies is to phase out physical Promos altogether (CD and 12/7").
The company in question is part of a larger group that are the UKs biggest DJ/Club/Radio Promo company.
Everyone whos ever received a promo (esp your first) will know that warm feeling of getting that rare White label but no more.
Of course theres always gonna be white labels pressed up but this could mean so few that DJs just dont get a look in.
Is MP3/AAC/WMA really about to become the only format ?
In my case i get a bunch of stuff each week but all i do is rip them and stick them in a box in the cellar so i suppose it makes things easier.
But not getting that Limited Edition one sided etched 10" will be sorely missed by record collectors like me...
