Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's?


.
I remember in the mid 70's direct-to-disc LP's were being touted. As I can remember, the concept sure sounded like a good idea. I was in college and had just bought my first receiver back then and could barely afford cut-outs or promotional LP's from my local record store. No way could I afford the premium prices for the direct to disc LP's. Decades later when I eventually found my way to high end audio, direct-to-disc had long vanished. Were they that good?

In theory, it seems like it would be better than reel-to-reel because you've bypassed recording to tape before making copies to vinyl. It seems like ultra high fidelity recording for the consumer is doomed at its inception because there is no market large enough to support it.

It must be some other recording method. Susie Q was released several years before d2d was Introduced. Credence had already broken up by the time d2d arrived.
