By artifact I just meant the original creation/output, gualbert!
all media are artifacts, even CD's.
the early Misfits 7" singles, which were pressed in runs of 100, or even 50 because they were just broke ass jersey kids, were in many cases put together by hand by Danzig and the boys. When you have something like that you are holding the actual item they busted their asses off to produce.
It adds to the enjoyment, at least for me.
the song is the same, and the song rules if you love it, but the actual record is much more than just a song. That is important to people like me who grew up scrutinizing record covers to learn about musicians and stuff.
