The Secret of Vinyl Records' Surge

I am the one who witness the mishap that made vinyl records spinning back on track. My friend who is also an employee of this certain music store had to order a CD-DVD edition of R.E.M.'s latest release “Accelerate”. He had accidentally pushed the LP code. Soon boxes of big vinyl discs showed up at several outlets.

I mean it’s funny because vinyl records are supposed to be obsolete, but 20 LPs sold the first day.

Other mainstream retailers are giving vinyl a spin too. The online seller giant Amazon.com, which has sold vinyl for most of the 13 years it has been in business online, created a special vinyl-only section last fall.

You know the Beatles album “Abbey Road” is always on the best seller. It is not just the nostalgic factor that consumers are attracted on vinyl records it’s also the feeling of better sound than digital forms.

There are more and more people who will likely purchase online or on main stream stores for vinyl records because it surely adds hype these days. I am wondering if vinyl records’ demand will surge more.

I agree that vinyl discs are the best in owning a physical copy of your music.
