Merge Takes Vinyl Digital

Reported by simple

The mad scientists at Merge corporate record headquarters here in Durham, North Carolina, have cooked up a digital angle on that old standby, the LP. Vinyl purists who pick up a copy of The Clientele's newest LP, Strange Geometry, will receive a CD insert inside the LP with a coupon entitling the bearer to a free one-time download of the full album, in digital mp3 format. Pretty smart if you ask me.
