Dear @tls49 : Well not really a lost for vynil lovers due to what other posted: almost all of us own thoudands of LPs.

No one knnows yet what will happens about and for the industry is catastrofic due that that plant was the suppier of 80% on the world needs.

In the mean time and for music lovers maybe what we could predict is that the already high prices for LPs will goes even higher.



Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Maybe less 180g and 200 gram vinyl will be produced. Get back to pressing 150g records; sound quality will not suffer. 
But let's not return to the days of 120g vinyl.

Where there is money to be made someone will step in. My bet is that Apollo will rebuild itself and do better than ever. It may not be as big as it was in it's hay day but it is still a very large and growing market. 
Hey Raul! Maybe you and I should go into business making blank lacquers. Think of all the free records we could get:)

Endless music to discover.


+1tablejockey!  Plus they are higher quality pressings.
People buy new records? I have a blast digging through all the piles in thrift stores. Sure, some turn out to be in bad shape but the vast majority are pretty decent to great. Yea, you need to go through piles of them to find the better ones but that's part of the fun of it. I'm always coming home with something that wasn't even on my radar. And I rarely pay more than a buck each.
