| VIVA LA VINYL : vinyl sales up 40% |
|
Who says vinyl is dead..... We have noticed a sharp increase this year in interest into vinyl as a musical format from the next generation. Young people looking to collect something 'real' to show their love for an artist or genre and not rely on downloads and free music. This, it seems not just a finding confined to our part of South Wales but the whole of the U.K. figures produced by the Official charts company show that vinyl sales are up by 40% year on year and at it highest rate for nearly a decade, there were nearly quarter of a million vinyl sales in januruary alone. So it seems vinyl isnt going away so easily and with more and more artists looking to produce vinyl as a part of their release to gain a collectability that cant be acheived using digital media.
Big ups to all the people still defending and purchasing vinyl..... |
