Default LP sales up 89%

Very interesting. Judging from the top 10 titles, the "turntablists"
have nothing to do with it.

It's difficult to establish what percentage of the total sales vinyl
actualty represents. If it were 1%, then a sales increase of 89%
would still mean 2% of the total market.

But it's good that, against all predictions, vinyl is still going.
Some recent pressings that I have heard have been very good
indeed. Even at USD 50 I still think a double LP is a
worthwhile purchase. Look at it this way, if you keep it
for many years, and enjoy it say 100 times, that's USD2
for forty minutes of musical pleasure.

As a Swedish pal of mine is fond of saying -
"small potatoes" :-)
