The Vinyl LP is not only a growing commodity in the Market Place as a result of the trend for the 'so called' Vinyl Revival, where the Vinyl/TT Source gained attraction beyond the die hard traditionalists.
There are a ever growing group who are New to Vinyl Collecting.
Limited Editions and Non Black meets their criteria for collecting.
Most importantly is that New Artists selling Hard Media, are aware of this other group of customers and see them as a important group, as one collectors purchase, is equivalent to 10's of 1000's streaming hits in revenues.
I am fortunate to have watched a recent released Vinyl LP appreciate in value from £35 to £600 across a few years, imagine if my copy was still in it manufacturers applied cellophane.
As a side, my Original 'Pulse' Album is still in the Manufacturers Cellophane, that one is now much harder to crack open.
