Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

And following on to my previous vinyl pressing information,

According to the RIAA, CD sales increased in 2021 for the first time in two decades.

Still, streaming accounts for 83% of revenue versus 11% for vinyl and CD sales.

However, of the 11% of revenue, vinyl sales accounted for 63%.  This continues a 15 year trend of vinyl’s resurgence.

Note that this refers to new CD and vinyl sales only and only the US sales statistics.
