There has seemingly been a resurgance in vinyl lately.
While sales of vinyl records remains a small piece in the overall music business, the number of people buying new and used albums continues to rise. This increase in popularity has translated into better business for smaller retailers and distributors who have seized on the opportunity to supply customers with a product they cannot find from big box retailers such as Best Buy.
People have claimed that vinyl has a “warmer” sound to it and is therefore more appealing. Vinyl has also seems to have a sentimental attachement for people that CDs never really attained.
Though it will most likely not safe the industry from plummeting, it is a telling sign that people are still willing, and still desire, to own physical copies of an artist’s work.
