wow!
How vinyl records are trying to go green - BBC News
“There were 22 times more vinyl albums sold in the UK in 2020 than in 2007 - with sales leaping from 210,000 to 4.8 million.
The most recent figures from the British Phonographic Industry reveal sales grew by more than 30% in 2020 alone, bringing in revenue of more than £86m.
For the first time since the late 80s, the value of record sales in 2021 is expected to surpass that of CDs - although it still lags way behind digital streaming and downloads.”
And now we have to worry about the environmental impact, something that was not an agenda item back in the day.

4.8 million?
That is fewer than Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA sold in one year after it's release.

I remember the 60's when vinyl was most popular.
Music in those days was very important to people.
These days there are many forms of entertainment.
We all sat listening to the radio on Sunday evening to top 40.
And most songs were good songs then not like today where its mostly pretty bland.

Yea, really! Music today is every bit as good, yea, and even better than it used to be. Yea that's right! BETTER!

As each year passes I listen to more dead people.
I do listen to some new music as well but it is unlikely to bother the charts.
