Elvis Ditches the Disc

There is a really brief report in Reuters (via CNet) that caught my eye, and not just because I’m an Elvis Costello fan:

“Elvis Costello’s next solo studio album, curiously dubbed “Momofuku,” will arrive April 22, and plans are for the set to be released only on vinyl, with a digital download code included in the package.”

Not only does this reinforce the growing vinyl comeback but is another sign that the CD’s days are numbered.

UPDATE: Declan says, “Amazon has a May 6th release date for the CD version. So, initially, vinyl. Two weeks later, CD.”  Thanks.  Though a little disappointing somehow.
