    I belong to an organisation called "Analogue Addicts". The main purpose
    of the group is provide a focus for those people who prefer to listen
    to music via analogue sources, primarily LP, and to act as a focus for
    pressure (and/or influence, call it what you like!) on the music
    industry to keep LPs available.
    
    Analogue Addicts is not into psuedo-Luddite activities that attempt to
    keep old technology alive for the sake of nostalgia for old bits of black
    plastic, but acts to counter the negative assumptions put about in
    order to discredit LP in favour of CD by those who have a vested
    interest, and to send appropriate messages to the industry about the
    viability of continuing large scale LP production for those who wish to
    pay for it by supporting those manufacturers and retail outlets that
    continue to produce/sell LPs.
    
    Neither I, nor any members of Analogue Addicts, have any financial
    interest in the hifi or recorded-music industries. Membership costs
    �7.50 in the UK, �10.00 or equivalent overseas; this includes a
    quarterly magazine, and in the UK only (so far) priority entry to some
    demos at hifi shows.
    
    Following the success of campaigns in the UK, we are looking for
    contacts outside of the UK - especially in North America -  who are
    prepared to publicise our activities locally. If you are interested,
    please mail me offline with a postal address to which information can
    be sent. It is not my intention to use Digital's mail facilities, which
    is why I specify a full postal address.
    
    If you are tired of being pushed around by the music and hifi industry
    and would like to help do something about it, please send your name and
    a postal address to Dave Sallitt @LZO, or BAHTAT::SALLITT.
    
    Moderators: go ahead and delete this note if you feel it inappropriate.
    If you leave it in, I will update it regularly for anyone who is
    interested.
