record revival

~

My husband recently purchased a record player on a whim. On our trip home this weekend we went through our parents dusty record collections in hopes of building our own collection. Bringing out the old LPs turned out to be an entertaining trip down memory lane for our parents and an interesting peek into their young lives (spoken word poetry set to the sounds of the ocean - really mom?).

As it turns out record sales are on the rise. Apparently we are not the only ones trekking to the local record shops flipping through LPs and 45s (here's proof:  NYT  and LA Times articles). Even Best Buy is getting in the record selling business. It seems vinyl is here to stay.


Here is a fun article on the most expensive records of all times- It could pay to be informed when going to the record store.
