Vinyl is making a comeback, some say!What I find even more interesting is the thought that vinyl albums will mostly likely still be produced (tho in small numbers) even after the CD is long gone.
For the same reason that any other past technology hangs around, nostalgia. We collect antique cars, tractors, chainsaws (ahem... ), computers, video games, guitars, whatever. I doubt that anybody would say vinyl produces better sound or is easier to use than the digital tech that's around now but it's fun to use every once in awhile, kind of like a 2 man cross-cut saw.Vinyl is making a comeback, some say!

I still have my LP collection of 300+,minus a half dozen or so traded in High School.And the then- top of the line Pioneer turntable to go with.....Listen to one every once in a while.Last one I bought new was in 1990.At that time BestBuy was the only local store still selling them,just a handful in stock at the end.Things have gone full circle pretty much,several small independent record stores opened back up here in past few years,mostly used but lots new also.
You can buy brand new vinyl at Amazon. How is that for new meets old?
I have lot of vinyl, just for liner notes and album cover art...I have no turntable that works anymore. I minored in sound recording tech and learned on a couple different sizes of tape...I like that tape makes you pay attention at all times because its not easy to go back and fix things like you can in digital. You have to have a plan from the get go. Gone also are the days of "live recording"...getting the whole band in the studio together and just going for it. Sad times of auto tunes, and pitch correction....and too much reverb.
