Vinyl Records Making a Comeback - 36% Rise in Sales [Edit]




Vinyl Records Making a Comeback - 36% Rise in Sales 676 Views - Click for Larger Image

It’s hard to believe, but vinyl records are making a comeback, at the same time that CD sales are on the decline.

In fact, one major grocery store chain, Fred Meyer, still has LP (Long Playing - usually 33 1/3 revolutions per minute… That used to be important!) Fred Meyer, owned by Kroger, is testing the concept of keeping vinyl alive.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, manufacturers' shipments of LPs jumped more than 36 percent from 2006 to 2007 to more than 1.3 million. Shipments of CDs dropped more than 17 percent during the same period to 511 million, as they lost some ground to digital formats. (bakersfieldnow)
