Got my LP/CD the other day and really enjoyed it. Some of these songs are really good and I wonder why they didn't make it to an America album? Aphrodite is really good and unique.

The only thing I did not like about this release is the required purchase of an LP/CD combo. I do not even own a record player anymore, so the LP is a waste for me.
Not sure why that was done.

Americafan - I don't know if there is any connection with this but Vinyl sales are hot and have been on the rise for years along with turntables.
From Statista: VINYL SALES IN THE UNITED STATES
The Surprising Comeback of Vinyl Records
by
Felix Richter,
Jul 3, 2020
Continuing one of the more surprising comebacks of the digital age, vinyl album sales in the United States have grown for the 14th consecutive year. In 2019, 18.8 million LPs were sold in the United States, up 14 percent compared to 2018 and more than 20-fold compared to 2006 when the vinyl comeback began.
So how big is vinyl's comeback really? Should we all dust off our old record players to prepare for the future of music? According to Nielsen’s 2018 music report, LPs accounted for 17 percent of album sales in the United States, which is quite substantial. Factoring in streaming and downloads of single tracks, however, that number drops to 2.4 percent of album equivalent music consumption, which puts things in perspective.
However small the impact of rising LP sales on the music industry’s bottom line may be, it’s still interesting to witness a hundred year-old technology come back from near extinction. Here's to hoping we don't need to dig up our old VHS tapes for the future of video consumption :)

I don't have a problem with them offering vinyl LP's of any album. The issue I have is with packaging them together and not giving you a choice. I just wanted the CD, but I had to buy both because they do not sell just the CD. I cannot even play the LP. For me it is a waste.
Why not sell them separately? That way you can buy either one or both, depending on what you want.
