Vinyl record makes its return
2008-06-11 14:43:05 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - Education News News)Portland, Oregon (CaymanMama.com) — It seems that the world of vinyl records is coming back. This spring, R.E.M.’s latest album “Accelerate” accidentally entered into the LP code and it soon it showed as vinyl discs at several stores. Some of the store sent back fearing poor sales but few put them on display and within a single day, 20 LP’s were sold.
However, The Kroger and Co., a Portland based firm realized that its error was not as bad as it might have appeared to be. Fred Meyer is planning to test the sales of vinyl records at 60 stores in Orgenon, Washington as well as in Alaska. According to the response, the company will go ahead with vinyl records in July that will be sold in all music stores.
It seems many other retailers are ready to spin vinyl records as Best Buy is contemplating sales at some of its stores. Along with it, Amazon.com, the online music czar that has been selling vinyl records for 13 years created special vinyl section. According to Fred Mayer, the best selling vinyl records include “Abbey Road”by Beatles, along with a string of other music albums by White Stripes, Metallica, Foo Fighters and Pink Floyd to name a few best selling names. According to the spokeswoman of Fred Meyer Melinda Merrill “It’s not just a nostalgia thing. The response from customers has just been that they like it, they feel like it has a better sound.”
According to the estimates by Recording Industry Association of America, the sales of LP increased with 36% in the year 2006-2007 with an increase of 1.3 million. The shipment of CD saw a decline of 17% with 511 million while losing its stake against other digital format.
The resurgence of vinyl records has become a long debate in comparison to digital format. However, vinyl fans have a different story to tell, Isaac Hudson says, “I think music products should be more than just music.”
