@mijostyn I believe you are spot on with the reference to the Boomer generation. Being part of that group myself, I am well aware to the huge impact this demographic has had on a number of industries. Anyone remember the Racket Ball craze? The tremendous wealth of the Boomers and desire to enjoy everything from our youth (how else does a 68 Camaro RS demand $150K), I agree the interest in LPs will die with us. It's just one of many items my children and grand kids have zero interest in. But while I'm still here I'm going to enjoy LPs as much as I can.
Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?
Interesting read here about the state of vinyl. Personally, I had no idea what the percentage of vinyl sales was “merchandise” never to be opened or played.

@mijostyn Single Malts and great Red Wine? 🤣 |
In 1971 I bought my first copy of Sticky Fingers for $2.97. Adjusted for inflation to 2023, that's $29.33. Given the heavier quality 180 gram vinyl, the remastering etc... I don't see that $35 - $40 is that big stretch. I think we get all tied up in what things used to cost. Stop me before I say "why when I was your age...." 😆 |
