On: Vaporwave’s Mini-Boom of Floppy Disk Releases

[PascLeRasc]

Vinyl's alive and growing every day. Lots of artists release on vinyl at the demand of their fans and there are plenty of thriving record stores with recent releases.

It's still a vanishingly tiny part of the overall music market, and most people buy them as decoration, rather than to play them.

I do have a turntable myself, a very interesting early/mid 70s direct drive table made by CEC in Japan and sold as a Visonik in Germany. But I primarily collect old albums that were released on vinyl as their primary format, I don't care much for new releases on vinyl.

I still maintain that the vinyl boom is a dad.

I think of all the music that is lost because it isn't digital.

My friend growing up had a huge jazz record collection. He once pointed out that only a small number of them got converted to CD format.
