Essential Reading
From the Telegraph in the UK:
Sales of old-fashioned albums rose by more than five per cent last year, figures from the Official UK Charts Company showed.
CD sales have fallen by a fifth over the same period, leading to some manufacturers threatening to halt their production.
Despite accounting for less than one per cent of music purchases, American sales of vinyl topped almost three million, an increase of a million records.
Music website Amazon.co.uk said it had more than 250,000 vinyl albums in stock to meet the growing demand.
Internet search engine Yahoo meanwhile, has reported a 210 per cent increase in searches of the phrase "blank cassette tapes" and a 110 per cent rise in users seeking “music cassette tapes”.
The new trend is believed to have originated from New York teenagers, leading to a boom in record player and turntable sales.

This is great. I love the sound of vinyl. I’d love to buy more new material on vinyl but I find it’s usually much more expensive than CD or MP3. Add to that the fact I can’t use it in the car or iPod.
