[Vintage-Audio] Vinyl making a comeback?

[Robert Nickels]

Probably not a surprise to anyone here, but maybe others saw the recent 
Associated Press story about vinyl records.  According the article some 
store in Portland inadvertently specified LP instead of CD on some new 
REM release, and was amazed to find that 20 copies sold the first day.  
So now they're test-marketing more vinyl at more stores.   The article 
also mentioned Amazon having an LP section.   They quote RIAA as saying 
that shipments of LPs jumped more than 36% from 2006 to 2007, with more 
than 1.3 million copies sold.  In that same time period, overall CD 
sales declined by 17% to 511 million copies.  Audio quality, liner 
notes, and "the sensory experience of putting the needle on the record" 
are cited as reasons for vinyl's new popularity.

Maybe you can't phoole all the people?
