    Has anyone charted how CD sales are progressing (falling I think?) If the market is there again, new finance in pressing machinery will inevitably follow.

    I heard last year that a small northern UK studio facility, which ditched all its old analogue gear years ago and was suffering the way modern studios are (see how many that have closed in the last fifteen years or so) has changed direction into mastering digital files carefully for vinyl cutting. This is a very skillful art and they're stacked up with business now.

    You know, it'd be great to have a resurgence in the lovely LP sleeves and the artwork that never translated properly to a CD sized case. Looking at same on a screen isn't quite the same either for me...
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

    Old Skool rules !

    You can't get near the vinyl displays in shops now due to the kids crowding around them. Quite amazing. People at work used to think I was insane running a record collection - now they struggle to hide their jealousy. Nothing to do with sound quality - it's all about the rebirth of cool.

    Those figures are for USA sales. Vinyl sales remained relatively healthier in UK and Europe in early 90s.

    Last year UK sales were 389,000 up 15% from previous year.

    There are only two types of music. Music I own and music I don't.
