Would you do a blind purchase with no previews?

| It's pretty much a 50/50 result. Some were hot, some were duds. |

| Probably 60% of my purchases are blind. I know, in-excusable in this age of streaming, but that 'thrill', man! |

Once upon a time this was pretty normal, particularly with CDs. If your favourite artist brought a new album out, you wouldn't even get to find out if it was any good until it was in the stereo and you'd pressed "play". There are a lot of dog CDs on the shelf in my office for exactly this reason.
These days it seems completely pointless unless you really love and trust a particular artist or band, or you're in a secondhand shop and it's £3 to find out. |

A blind purchase of any random track on Beatport? That'd be a bit kinky, Matt. Somehow I'm not surprised by the 50-50 part of the opening post but you must have funny taste in music if you'd get only fifty percent duds.
:clown:
I did blind-purchase new Solar Fields stuff in the recentish past, and Sync24 as well. And I may have done so with a few plates of second-hand prog. And I will purchase Hybrid's album 6 regardless of whether I get to sample it.
Edit: So I basically just repeated what SYSTEM-J said but with examples. Oh well. |

I guess my taste has become jaded even when it comes to the 90's. With that being said, it's always worth taking the risk unless we're talking about the streaming era. |
