Over the last two years I have
accumulated a reasonable amount of vinyl records, enough I'd say to call a
'collection'. It isn't the biggest collection in the world nor the smallest
(shall we say more than 100 but rather less than 1000), and it's fair to say I'm sold
on vinyl. Vinyl sales are surging, and though they make up only a
tiny percentage of overall music sales, what is significant is that vinyl
record sales have grown at such pace at a time when other physical formats are
in a state of great decline. It's more expensive than other (more accessible) formats, it's fragile, some might
say it's dated, so why have vinyl records become my music medium of
choice, and the choice of increasingly more people?
