Nah you are totally wrong. The Fleece gig was not only sold out (as 
usual!) 
with well over 300 people attending, but they sounded ace, looked fresh, 
and played a set including new songs and an unpredictable bunch of old 
ones 
including at least one song over 30 years old which they'd never played 
before.

If you are a big fan of the band you'll already have the LP, if only for 
the sleeve artwork - which looks far better at 12 inches square than it 
could 
do on any CD.

If you are a fairly big fan of the band then you'll wait and see if a CD 
release can be arranged - Remember they no longer have a big label behind 
them 
- It is a big investment to release a physical album - have you considered 
that the money may not be around for a CD release until a few hundred of 
the 
vinyl albums have been sold?

And if that takes a year then maybe the band will have a whole new set of 
songs recorded and ready to go - if you were a band you'd want to move on 
and 
get the new stuff released.

And absence of "marketing ploys" is one of the things that makes this band 
a lot more special than most of the crap that is being foisted upon the 
public by major labels.

There are many LPs by people the Aeros look up to, like Dylan and The 
Stones, which have been recorded over the years, but for one reason or 
another 
unreleased. Be glad that this one did come out at all.
