Vinyl isn't dead yet...

Vinyl Sales Surpass CD Sales for the First Time in 34 Years

although at the same time
Album Sales Suffer Worst Week in 60 Years Amid Coronavirus Crisis
Just 1.52 million copies were sold -- the worst week since the 1960s

Not really the same time tho. The latter was written 5 months ago.

Hey cut me some slack, same year

that is one sexy slab
Have to wait until biden is elected

Hutch…been trying hard to find this one, if you spot it, grab it for me



Also, that's not my pic, but that King Khan vinyl is exquisite.

I mean, Elton John is a believer

Yet he has 120,000 CDs and 15,000 LP


Ok

I continue to do my part - RSD Black Friday'ed in Catonsville, MD, and picked up the DBT and Uncle Tupelo. Then Estate Saled on Saturday and bought an English Beat, a General Public, and an Eartha Kitt record, and followed up by Small Business Saturdaying at Wax Atlas in Baltimore and picked up some cheap used Bob Dylan records, and New Porno's single for Myriad Harbour.

Me too…the Lounge Ax is about the size of jamming java.  must have been insanely packed

Forgot, also bought the Fountains of Wayne record, but had to do that online. It was surprising how many of the releases were available online at around 1pm.

So Jules, can we ship you to the west coast to pull this prank on Smakie

Yeah just get me the plane ticket for myself and my photographer and we will be out there as soon as this vaccine gets cooking.

Just placed my order for Sia Christmas on vinyl!


I have been enjoying the CD so much I had to get it…


So many LPs are becoming out of print..I don’t think the pressing plants and record companies can keep up so they press this this year and something else the next

Most of the Tom petty catalog for example has gone out of print

Limited runs are becoming the norm

my kid has been pestering me to find a cool way to display some of the funky colored vinyl I've been picking up
and I think this product fits the bill

https://recordprops.com/
this guy nailed on design

So I want to support the artist and was even happier to see a clear vinyl with an extra CD both signed for only $26
but the shipping was $21…so $47 to make this purchase

grr that pretty much makes me not want to buy it.  Does it typically cost that much to ship vinyl overseas?
Feel like it would be better to just paypal $5 to arlo parks as they would get more money

Guess I could go to Bezo's house of sin and get the red vinyl edition for $20 including shipping

(which is what I did)

Yeah shipping has gone way up everywhere

I think as of a year ago to ship 1 LP from US to UK or Europe was $24! I pretty much have stopped buying albums from Europe


Thank god for media mail within the US

Same thing with that Killing joke / Hooky release
I just can't justify buying something where most of the money goes to shipping

We are all in the same boat
