"state51 and I had to make a tough decision today.  We've decided not to release Muscle Memory on vinyl just yet. Why? The album is long…well over 52 minutes so, in order to retain high quality audio, we’d have to press it as a double album which doubles the cost of manufacture. Add to that the Covid crisis backing up pressing plants, creating higher prices for smaller runs and you, the customer having to pay a whopping £30 for the vinyl version of the record. For me this is a totally unacceptable financial model. So, we wait. We stream, we download and we press CDs until such a time as the world returns to normal and we can think again. I know this will disappoint some of you and I’m gutted, but my basic position is that the music is more important than the format so I believe it’s the only sensible solution for now. Roll on 2021 and a way forward." - KG
