Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?

The vinyl revival is real but growth in sales year over year is steadily slowing. You will be able to buy new and used vinyl for as long as we are around. Enjoy!

The good news is there are a lot of used LP's out there. The bad news is many of them are damaged beyond repair. I was in Music Millennium last week, and the sounds of a familiar late-60's/early-70's album (try as I might, I just can't recall which one) came over the store's system. I went up to the counter and saw that it was an LP being played, a used one priced at $60. I didn't ask to look at the LP to evaluate it's condition, but it was being played on a not-so-hot turntable, possibly to it's detriment.

Wal-Mart  selling records is a good sign.

As bdp24's reflected, the low-hanging fruit of quality 50s/60s/early 70s vinyl have been mainly picked over.  I'm constantly searching for 1st pressing jazz LPs (mono especially) from mainly the 50s/60s in near-mint or better condition.  Not so easy to find anymore, and when you do it's priced at a hefty premium.

My young niece recently bought a turntable, so I would say the revival is real when somebody younger than CDs takes up vinyl. I have not, however, found any difficulties finding 1960/70s music or older jazz at flea markets or garage sales because millennials tend to sleep in on weekends.😊
