Re: anti-gravity

Is it an artistic or a financial decision?  I've never quite understood 
the reason to do the vinyl only.  If it's financial, is this something a 
Kickstarter cpaign could help with?  (Mastering costs and/or a dowload 
site, bandwidth, tax, etc)  Is it still wrong to end a sentence with a 
preposition?

Thanks
