UK's dance music from the 80s-90s is actually still available (see discogs.com). There are some rarities (like white labels from which there only were 50 copies in the first place) but besides from that the situation now is nice.
BUT, what's in 20 years from now? The vinyl does degrade (because I want to play that tune from 91, not just own it), and I can't RIP from vinyl because the sound is worthless (ironic how we cherish the vinyl sound while its completely useless for a recording).
What I am really scared about is all the DAT tapes going missing. A grand initiative should be started now, to archive FLAC copies of all master recordings.
