More About Vinyl
Any of you reading this for a while know that I love vinyl records. Maybe it’s my youth as a punk or simply my aversion to making things easy, but I prefer most of my music on a nice slab of etched plastic.
This Businessweek article has some interesting info about current vinyl production and sales. To quote:
But vinyl still accounts for a small percentage of total music sales. Last year 858,000 LPs were sold compared with 553.4 million CDs, according to Nielsen SoundScan. While the 2006 figure was up slightly from 2005, the overall trend has been down from 1.5 million in 2000.
For those of you into vinyl, check out a site I run dedicated to collecting records from Murder City Devils and all related bands (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Area 51, Death Wish Kids, etc).
