Link: The return of LPs
But over the past few years, there has been a resurgence of vinyl, especially among rock groups. I'm not sure how to explain that, except there is a recognition among audiophiles that a stylus moving in groves more closely approximates the originally recorded analog sound than does a CD, which merely samples a portion of the audio data. CDs represent convenience, not an improvement in sound quality.
There are also new vinyl versions of albums being released on such favorites as Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.
The question of the day is: how many of you would like to buy a new Jim Reeves album pressed in vinyl? We used to like the larger cover art and liner notes, the whole experience of putting a platter on a turntable and putting the needle in the groove.
So let's a poll. I'm curious to know how many of you still own a turntable and would be interested in buying a NEW Jim Reeves release on LP?
Please DON'T vote "yes" if you have no means of playing such a record.
Also, here's a link to an article about the comeback of vinyl...
