This whole discussion is ridiculous! Who cares? We've been hearing rumors of vinyl's demise for years...- and it's still around. I'll be dead by the time vinyl disappears. I suspect so will many of you. And I highly doubt the after-life (if there is one) is consumed by discussions about which format is superior. In 50 years you might be able to just THINK of a song and it starts playing! (Like Trump with the documents). And those who thought streaming was the cat's meow will be ridiculed as hopelessly old-fashioned! Do what makes you happy and don't worry about others. You believe streaming is a better format? Terrific- stream to your heart's content! Playing vinyl has sustained me for the latter part of my life. It's provided immense pleasure. It's still providing pleasure!

Maybe the afterlife will be like it's depicted in Liszt's Symphonic Poem, "Battle of the Huns", where the Roman (Christian) army and the army of the Huns both kill each other off and then they continue their battle in the afterlife before the Christians finally win! ;-)
(the cover of the vinyl incarnation of this recording - just for you!)
So who are the vinylphiles and who are the streamers in that battle? Love the cover, btw.
The technology of the ultimate winner may not even have been invented yet - just as you suggest. ;-)
As for the album cover, yes, I've always preferred that British Decca one (in the previous post) to the American London one (below), where, I believe, they chose to focus on Mazeppa!
