Description:

When I was a kid, my parents had storage cabinets full of old records. Meanwhile, I was listening to tapes, keeping blanks in my stereo so I could frantically hit REC when a song I wanted came on the radio. Then we all moved on to CDs, and in junior high, I—along with the rest of the country—was introduced to MP3s, Napster, and a million other file sharing options.

Today, streaming music services are everywhere. Companies like Spotify have given us a limitless mixtape of instant-access audio. We can listen to almost anything, anywhere, and independent artists have more opportunity to be heard by huge audiences, regardless of whether they have a record contract or radio play.

Billboard recently released their numbers for 2015; streaming stats doubled to no surprise, and CD numbers continued to free fall, but there’s one place where physical media has seen a rapid uptick: vinyl. In 2015, vinyl sales saw a 29.8 percent increase and moved 11.9 million units. For the past 10 years, the music industry has been watching a trend of skyrocketing vinyl sales.

So why the sudden vinyl revival? Why, when listening to your favorite songs is as simple as a tap on a screen, would fans be flocking to one of the most complicated forms of physical media? They scratch, they pop, playing them often requires multiple pieces of equipment, and it’s just a few songs before you have to flip them.

Of this figure, 90 per cent will be from new and used vinyl records, with the remainder from turntables and accessories. Around 40m new vinyl records are expected to be sold globally this year – that makes up about 15-18 per cent of all physical music sales, and about six per cent of total music sales including digital.

However, despite these growing sales, Deloitte says vinyl will remain a niche format due to its high price relative to other formats such as streaming and CD. This year, says the report, 20m of us are expected to buy “a small number of records at a high unit price relative to most other music formats.

“Implicitly,” it goes on, “billions of music fans will not purchase vinyl this year, instead consuming music predominantly via a blend of radio, TV, CD, digital streaming and downloads.”

It explains that while the collectible nature of vinyl will help it remain relevant as a format, it’s “unlikely to ever be a growth or profit engine for the music industry”.

Indeed, according to a Deloitte poll of record buyers, almost half of those were yet to play their purchase a month after buying it, while seven per cent did not even own a turntable to play it on.

The report concludes that while vinyl “has a future in music”, from a revenue and consumption perspective the future “is all about digital, and this is where the brunt of the focus should be.”

In 1960, 78rpm records started to fade due to the takeover of 33RPM Vinyl records. There became a better way of making music by cutting grooves into vinyl to produce music. From this method 33RPM and 45RPM Vinyl records were born. There became a mass production of this style of music and it wasn’t until when Philips started showing off their compact disc idea in 1981 that Vinyl records format extinction began. The laser technology had arrived but………. not for long! A rebirth of Vinyl records has taken place

The difference between the slow death of 45RPM, 33RPM and 78RPM decline was that 78RPM stayed in the death mode. The revival of 33RPM and 45RPM became apparent due to fact that there was a love for this kind of format. There is a color and warmth for this format of Vinyl records. It can’t be matched by the digital format or any other format. 8 track tapes didn’t survive, cassette tapes didn’t survive but Vinyl records rose from the dead.

Vinyl records have become the music norm again. See article below

For decades they have languished on their owners’ shelves, gathering dust in their grooves: vinyl copies of Michael Jackson’s Bad and the Beatles’ Abbey Road tucked away as first CDs then online streaming seemed to have rendered them obsolete.
But now the tables are turning. The CD is still the most popular physical music format, and streaming continues to rise, but vinyl records are in the midst of a resurgence, with sales increasing and old collections getting a new lease of life.
Vinyl sales in Britain hit a 25-year high in 2016, with sales increasing 53 per cent on the year before, according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). That translated to 3.2 million records being sold, a high that came after nine years of growth in what is still a niche market.
Some 30 years since the end was predicted for record players and vinyl discs, what’s behind the increase in popularity?
In a recent study by Auckland University, vinyl buffs were asked what it was that kept them buying records in the digital age. It found those who collected loved not just the sound, but the whole process of buying and listening to vinyl, and the social element that went with it.
Many interviewed said the physicality of vinyl made it feel more substantial than digital music, said Karen Fernandez, associate professor of marketing at the University of Auckland Business School.
“People talked about not just the vinyl itself – the warm human tone, the crackle, the touch of the needle – but that the whole process of acquiring and using the vinyl seems to involve other people.”
Ad Feedback
Vinyl was more reliable than CDs in every way, and emotively much more rewarding, Wellington DJ Danny Lemon said.
“You need to make sure they don’t get scratched, but they’re pretty much there for life.”
ARTISTIC MERIT
The vinyl aficionado lost 8500 records in an arson attack on a self-storage depot in Kilbirnie in 2014, but that has not dimmed his enthusiasm.
Records were artefacts, and people were starting to cotton on to that, he said.
“[They] are recognising the vinyl product has artistic merit … and appreciate it more and more, the cover art, the sleeve notes. You don’t get that with downloads.”
He recalled hearing in the mid to late 90s from major record labels that vinyl was on its way out, but said DJs and underground collectors kept it going, despite record stores closing.
“I can almost remember saying ‘f… that, we’ll keep vinyl alive’.
“It was never dead for people like myself and my friends all over the world. We continued to collect it.”
SALES UP
At Rough Peel Music in Cuba St, Wellington, owner Paul Huggins said he was “without a doubt” selling more vinyl than CDs.
It was responsible for about 80 per cent of sales, up from 30 to 40 per cent six years ago.
Huggins wasn’t entirely sure what was leading the rise in vinyl’s popularity, having collected records himself since he was a 7-year-old.
“I think it’s a format thing, that artwork’s great, it’s the feel of it. There’s something about putting a record on.”
ALL AGES
It was not just the older generation of people who had been brought up listening to records who were snapping them up in store, but all sorts, including high school children.
“That’s what gives me confidence, it’s new people coming to it as well.”
A few doors up at Slow Boat Records, Jeremy Taylor said it was difficult to say whether records were heading towards being more popular than CDs, but the two were heading towards being more even.
SUPERIOR SOUND
Vinyl was a more collectible format that lasted, and had a superior sound, he said.
“It is now a pan-generational thing, parents go record shopping with kids, and also record shops used to be a bit ‘dude bro’, just full of guys. I think that trend is changing.”
There were a lot of things to indicate vinyl was on the rise, and would continue to be popular.

“It’s the go-to,” said Darby Wheeler, a documentary filmmaker whose recent series for Netflix, Hip-Hop Evolution, keeps avid SL-1200 spotters busy. The turntables pop up everywhere – on concert stages and album covers and in the studios of genre legends like Grandmaster Flash.

“At the after-party for Hip-Hop Evolution, the club had another brand,” Wheeler recalled during a phone interview, in a tone that suggests both mystification and embarrassment. “The DJ looked at me and said, ‘What the hell, Darby, no 1200s?"”
That legacy seems like an easy sales hook for the Panasonic Corp. of Japan, which has reintroduced the turntable to great fanfare.
Panasonic has chosen mostly to ignore it.
“Our concept is analog records for hi-fi listening,” said Hiro Morishita, a creative director at Technics. “DJs are fine, too, but as a marketing target it’s problematic. We don’t want to sell the 1200 as the best tool for DJ-ing. The 1200 is the 1200.”

Well I’m really loving these Vinyl articles that are being published lately! Its so encouraging to read about how successful Vinyl records are again. Here’s another great read!

Read below….Vinyl records are hot sellers.. once again. All the more reason to start selling Vinyl!

David Bowie was the leading force within 2016’s continuation of the vinyl revival sweeping the nation.
David’s final studio album Blackstar was the best selling LP on black plastic over the last 12 months, shifting 54,000 units since it was released in January 2016. Two days after the album was made available, David unexpectedly died from cancer, leading to a significant period of national mourning for one of the UK’s most iconic musicians.
In addition to Blackstar, a further four of David’s classic releases feature in the Official Top 40 biggest sellers of 2016: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust (13), Hunky Dory (16), Nothing Has Changed – The Very Best Of (17), and Changesonebowie (28).

More than three million LPs were sold in 2016, the first time that threshold has been passed for 25 years, a report from the British Phonographic Industry (the BPI) revealed today. The last time such a figure was spent was in 1991, when Simply Red’s Stars was the best seller of that year. 2016 was the ninth year in a row that vinyl sales had increased (by 44% compared to 2015), with vinyl albums even making more money than digital album sales for one week across November and December.
Back to the biggest vinyl records of the year and another artist sadly no longer with us is the year’s second biggest seller. Strong sales influenced by her legacy and stocking in a wide variety of retailers, Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black accumulated 35,500 sales in 2016. Other posthumous entries in the Top 10 come from Bob Marley, Prince, and Nirvana, whom were fronted by the late Kurt Cobain.
British acts dominate the overall Top 40, with the majority of the albums making the cut being the works of British acts. The likes of The Smiths, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys appear twice while 2016 success stories The 1975, The Last Shadow Puppets, Biffy Clyro and Catfish & The Bottlemen also appear.
Looking at vinyl singles, it is The Stone Roses who rule the roost. The band released their 2016 comeback singles All For One and Beautiful Thing on vinyl, with the two tracks sitting at Numbers 1 and 2 on the year-end list.

First the Twinkie rears its sugary self. Now record albums are seeing a “vinyl revival.” Is the rebirth of the IBM Selectric typewriter next?

The news came from Britain’s Entertainment Retailers Association, suggesting the surge could be due to the Christmas shopping season and a growing number of British retailers making shelf space for vinyl.

“This is yet further evidence of the ability of music fans to surprise us all,” ERA chief Kim Bayley said in a statement, which was reported by the British newspaper, The Independent.

“Few would have predicted that an album format, first invented in 1948 and based on stamping a groove into a piece of plastic, would now be outselling it in 2016,” the Independent reported.

[Vinyl albums just outsold digital for the first time ever]

Even Amazon.com has gotten in on the act, announcing the launch of Amazon Vinyl Lounge for the purists.

Is this trend taking the United States by storm? Don’t dust off the antique turntable just yet.

“We love that people are consuming music in all these different ways,” said Joshua P. Friedlander, senior vice president for strategic data analysis at the Recording Industry Association of America. But he added that, “it’s important to temper the enthusiasm by saying this (vinyl sales) is just a single digit slice of the market.”

Fortune magazine reported earlier this year that LP (as in, long playing) record albums were in comeback mode, hitting a 28-year high. The upward arc comes not only in spite of vinyl’s alleged inferior quality compared to digital, but because of it.

“Albums were old school, filled with hisses and pops that digital music had erased,” Fortune reported in April. “But those flaws added a depth and warmth to the music that even people who once owned extensive album collections had forgotten after years of listening to digital music.”

Rob Norton, owner of Hill & Dale Records in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood, said he opened his store three years ago as a way to jump on the growing popularity of vinyl records, especially the high-end discs such as Deutsche Grammophon and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.

Norton, 46, said there are multiple reasons behind vinyl’s resurgence, including nostalgia, the social aspect of shopping for records and the desire to own something physical.

“A lot of people come in in groups and buy a record or two, and are clearly going back to listen to it together,” he said. “The act of buying a record is social. And there are people able to ask us or their friends about the record and talk about it and look at the tracks.”

Norton said the highest quality vinyl records sound better than digital music, and his customers are willing to pay more for that, especially customers who listen to jazz. Friedlander sees the phenomenon in more textural terms. Vinyl’s revival, he said, “shows people love music and the ability to hold something tangible in a digital world.”A Doors Record Being Pressed

Figures showing that the sale of records outstripped digital downloads for the first time, came as ‘no big surprise’ to Simon Parker owner of the independent Vinyl Revolution store that opened in Tunbridge

Wells at the end of October. The figures were released by the ERA (Entertainment Retailers Association) and show that in week 48 this year vinyl took £2.4million with digital attracting £2.1million in sales.

“We weren’t surprised but it was very welcome and is great news for all fans of vinyl records. Our name Vinyl Revolution says it all. There has been a revolution – vinyl is back and digital sales are decreasing,” said

Simon Parker, Co-Founder of Vinyl Revolution in Camden Road.

“This has not been a sudden change. Vinyl started being pressed again in volume about four years ago and sales have been increasing ever since.

“We believe the reason is that people want to interact with what they are buying in a tangible way. You cannot touch, feel and enjoy the artwork on a download”.

He said vinyl sales had been increasing steadily for a long time and showed no sign of slowing down.

“This is the third consecutive year that record players have been among the most popular Christmas present in the UK. The music quality on a record is far superior to both downloads and CDs.

“Many hard to find albums are now being repressed onto new vinyl, some for the first time. This is a major cause for celebration.”
