Admittedly, the volumes are a drop in the ocean, but it's healthy nevertheless for the format that apparently died in the early 90s. Result!

Just wait until their friends are demoing their dj skills with your brand new stylus...

You might be onto something. Be afraid.

Or just search for things they may have lost/broken/etc...

chebby:Hmmm could be right there. But that's OK. The new limited edition Rega P3-24 has no power on/off switch. So long as I take the TT-PSU with me whenever I leave the house then there is no way to make it switch on.
Well let's hope they don't try 'scratching' records by spinning the platter with their hands then!

It's in interesting article, and nice to see that there's evidence for vinyl demand. I just got my Cyrus amp so I had a phono stage - just need the record deck now, then try and stop me visiting the record fair every month!

The Elvis Costello project was interesting. What would people think if record labels were to release albums as LPs and CDs, with a voucher to claim a free download of the album? It would save a lot of hassle trying to 'rip' vinyl for those with iPods, etc. I'd worry about the quality though...

Yesterday i went into parkstone and popped into big brother record's, got myself queen's greatest hits, bowie and some lennon all on vinyl for 7 pound's, then i popped next door and had a pint. I will look out for record conventions from now on, i like hunting round old record stores, it's a good feeling when you pick up a record pull it from it's sleeve to find that black disc in mint condition, I will be looking for good vinyl and drinking beer on my day's off from now on, viva la vinyl!

Nothing wrong with the thread! Just that article...I've read several like it over the past few years and they are aimed at people whose likely response will be "Well I'll be damned, I didn't know that they even MADE those crackly old LPs any more!".

My pleasure chaps - glad you enjoyed it!

Still, in the interests of balance, I'm just off to unwrap the packaging on my latest download. Oh hang on, there isn't any; better buy another LP then....!

(Just kidding all you digital fans, calm, breathe.....there......!
