Business Changes Create New Niche Market
Collectors Seeking Higher Quality Buy Final CD Pressings
 elcome to the February edition of Guitar Nine Records' on-line magazine. As referred to in our "Game Over" column, CD collecting has seemingly passed over from mainstream activity to audiophile pursuit during 2009, and to that end, quality-concious music fans are quietly snapping up the last remaining available discs. As such, we've added 10 releases to the site in the past two months, including instrumental CDs by David Stockden, Bernard Alcorn, Patrick Butler, Borislav Mitic, Mr. Fastfinger, Svilen Mikov, Infinite Loop, Will Brady and the Melodic Soloists compilation. You can now listen to and order
1892 instrumental releases by 1185 different artists. More Info Español

Dan McAvinchey
Interview with Borislav Mitic
"Regardless of the economic slowdown, people tend to want to download a lot of their music for free, thus leaving artists without income that would be generated through royalties from CD sales."
