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?

Vinyl sales are still growing at double-digit pace more than 10 years after they started rebounding.

The vinyl revival is real but growth in sales year over year is steadily slowing. You will be able to buy new and used vinyl for as long as we are around. Enjoy!

The good news is there are a lot of used LP's out there. The bad news is many of them are damaged beyond repair. I was in Music Millennium last week, and the sounds of a familiar late-60's/early-70's album (try as I might, I just can't recall which one) came over the store's system. I went up to the counter and saw that it was an LP being played, a used one priced at $60. I didn't ask to look at the LP to evaluate it's condition, but it was being played on a not-so-hot turntable, possibly to it's detriment.
