Interesting that vinyl records are making a comeback . Yet CD sales on the other hand are declining. New records cost aprox. 6x times what they did back in the day. At first I thought this was crazy. However now having seen the beautiful coloured translucent vinyl I think as an art object – collectible maybe they are worth it.
