Figures from the Recording Industry Association Of America shows that sales of vinyl in the US were up 36.3% last year compared to 2006. As Digital Music News point out, that’s still only 1.3 million units, half what was sold in 1997, but still, it provides some optimism for those of us who happily believe vinyl will outlive all the other physical formats that were supposedly going to kill off the record back in the day. I really ought to get round to buying a new record player.
