Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?


I never gave up on vinyl. October 1988, I bought my LP12. We were being told CDs were perfect sound forever. People were dumping their vinyl. Thankfully, I cleaned the best that I could find. Now, TTs at all price points are coming on the market. Is the the vinyl revival real and where will we end up?

I would like vinyl to continue at a sufficient level of popularity to maintain production, but don't really care if it continues to increase in popularity. There are a ton of used albums available - enough to supply needs for any foreseeable future.

I once lucked out and bought around 100 classical albums from an elderly lady whose grandson had worked at a classical college radio station, that had unloaded their vinyl and gone to digital. She never played them and while some had been played a few times for on air play, many were sealed promotional copies (which I promptly unsealed and listened to).

But that's classical - good luck trying to find an Iron Butterfly album that doesn't sound like it spent a year as the bottom of a hamster cage.
