Spex interview with AP curators Ekkehard Ehlers and Björn Gottstein can now be read online at spex.de.
“I believe we have to start treating music as we do with coffee, fruit and vegetables: independent producers, fair trade, sustainable economy. Put plainly: buy vinyl, not at Amazon, but at the record store around the corner, and avoid locations where there’s more than 300 people present. What we need is organic vinyl.” (Ehlers)
