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.

Most of the people buying the vinyl are older people like me.I'm not buying a album that I could of bought new back in 1969 for $3 bucks .So we here oh a,$30 dollar album is like buying a,$3 buck album 50 years ago.Ok but I'm not paying 30 for it or 100 or 125 for a MM album. WHICH we were told was analog from start to finish......

Yes true What ever floats your Boat.I find it great to go to Local Thrifts and find Cds for a Buck.I dont have the money to buy expensive vinyl any more.Yes I have over 2,000 Lps.,4 ,000 cds ,cassettes and Reel to Reel tapes.Cds are coming back ,Big Time.
