Yes, there are an enormous number of old LP’s available for old guys like us (pardon me if my assumptions about all ya’ll are incorrect ;-), but for the format to have an enduring future, new music has to available on LP for younger music lovers to buy.

Long after the CD had replaced the LP (throughout the 1990’s), I continued buying new releases on the latter whenever possible. And the price of used LP’s then was like that of CD’s now---dirt cheap. I am still finding Mint- copies of LP's from the 60's/70's/80's for five bucks or so.

I'm bummed by this fire. I loved the fact that increasing numbers of new jazz releases, some by relatively obscure players, were coming out on vinyl again. That momentum is likely to be lost or seriously impeded by this fire, it seems.

@mijostyn : Great busines for every one and maybe  Acoustic Sounds or other LPs manufacturers ( perhaps through " join venture " deals. ) can goes in that business .  Today no one nows about.

In addition, recordings from the '90s that were only available on CD are now being pressed on vinyl.

Funny. One maker of black goo goes away and the sky is falling. As if its been used for anything worth buying anymore anyway. It never was the black goo. Alan Parsons, Ken Scott, Doug Sax, guys like that and their drive for excellence, that's what we are missing these days. Not black goo.
