Vinyl Records are Back!

I am 32 years old. I have worked in several record stores for the past 12 years. Most of my collection comes from Beatnick records (Montreal, Canada) where i worked for 3 years. I would say that i have not seen double copies for 50% of my collection during the years i worked for Beatnick. Except, of course, for new reissues. I started listening to Jazz on Blue Note while i was working in a record store in Paris. I always suggested my customers that wanted to get into jazz to start with Art Blakey’s “Moanin”. It was the album that got me into Blue Note. I love the sound, i love the artwork, i love the music, i love the stories. I paid around 20$-30$ for most Blue Note/Liberty pressings and 15$ for re-issues. Some originals were over 50$. Now i’m stuck with buying every single Blue Note i don’t own because of collector syndrom. DOH ! Expensive hobby ! By the way, you are listening to Sonny Clark’s Cool Struttin album.

As mp3s, CDs and other formats gain ground in the music marketplace, vinyl records continue to attract and maintain a core customer base. Young people love them because their cool and different, audiophiles love them because of the perceived quality over digital music. Either way, vinyl records are still here and still going strong.
