I question the logic. The management of a single retail

Agreed to the single point, but this does happen to be
the largest music retailer in NYC.....not exactly
podunk, Iowa.


Not exactly proof of a trend or even support for such a claim.

Yes, the largest music retailer in the largest city in
the country.


The largest music retailer in the US is iTunes.

"Apple's just confirmed the morning's news on them being the number one
music retailer in the US."

I have it on good authority that iTunes sells no vinyl. ;-) Something about
it being technically impossible to download LPs...

The largest music store in NYC is the Virgin Music Store on Union Squa

The article says that when Virgin closed down their Times Square Store,
their Union Square store became the largest in NTC.

Therefore your claims about J&R are completely falisifed, and there no
reason to answer any false suppositions based on the idea that J&R are "The
largest music retailer in the US".

The present thread is, IMV, a very tired argument.


Of course. I've shown that every once in a while sales of LPs spike up, and
then they settle down again.

Some people would like to buy some LPs.


There is no problem with people liking to buy LPs.

The problem is false suppositions based on false claims.

In the view of some
here, that makes them "vinyl bigots".


No, it makes people who base false claims on false data look like they are
very passionate, but also wrong.
