Vinyl sales are up!
- Thread starter Benny-Digital
- Start date
vinyl will never go out of fashion cause nothing sounds as good in a club then a vinyl the only down side is like my mate all his tunes are still what he bought in 1990 and upwards and you see them to start to lose the sound quality

Kool... glad to see this, nice idea giving a d/l code too though, kind of saves time ripping it for the ol mp3 player

The mp3 code is a fabulous idea!!!! It could be the saving grace for vinyl 
I like a mixture of mp3 (for stuff I want, but don't wanna spend the cash on for vinyl format) and vinyl (for stuff I do, and that I want to 'touch' for a long time). I have been buying none-dance music on vinyl recently too.
I think when there is a heavy shift towards one thing (in this case the mp3 et al) there is always a backlash. people always want a tonic to what they have…and what's more of a tonic in this case than vinyl??
What I always have in my mind, is being a kid, and going through my parents vinyl FOR HOURS…stuff they'd had since before I was born. I wonder how many of my MP3s will last that long?!

i'm glad the kids r discovering vinyl again.... i recall being in hmv before they got rid of thier decks and vinyl and a kid coming up and asking me what the thing i was using was (record player)... how generations change
using records as a chat up line always worked too but its not the same as saying come and see my mp3 collection
long live vinyl.

yea my mate he uses his apple mac aswell but he rips his really old viynl that are lossing the sound quality and rips them onto his mac and uses serato just an easier way instead of loosing all his orginal vinyl due to age use
he will never part with his vinyl cause hes been djing many years now thing is he could go buy the classics online again but all his vinyl was bought from eastern bloc records and manchester underground so there more valuble keeping for memory
id like to know more info about this such as does this relate to just new or second hand items? if this relates to second hand also then it makes sense as prices are way down hence driving demand up. If this is for new records then i am confused as i was under the impression many producers were steering away from vinyl and those that still do produce on vinyl are pressing 300-500 at a time?!?!?!
great thread tho!

The trouble is, much of the new vinyl is expensive. 7'' soul records tend to cost about £6, limited edition 12'' vinyl can cost £10, £20 or whatever.
It's probably cheap compared to the imports we all bought when record shops were crammed (relative to our wages back then), but seems dear these days:|

This is exactly what I think too. It applies to me defs. Especially when companies like itunes are only really 'renting' you the MP3 anyway…you spend money on something you don't even own - let alone touch, smell, get to know visually. xxx
everything is online buying not like the good old days where you went into a record shop like eastern bloc records or manny underground and sit there listing to the new releases that huggi just got in or mike e bloc and stick ya hand up if you wanted the vinyl ahhhhh the goold old daysphones:
