The Lifespan of an LP?

Many good responses. Take them all and you have an answer.

Except for the most of the not-so-subtle advertisement placed two posts above.

I have vinyl that is 40 years old that i have played many times and my father has vinyl from the early 60s that still sounds like the day he bought it so i would say if you take care of it it will outlast you.

Was it advertising, or was it genuine enthusiasm for an excellent service and products?

I started collecting records from the early 50s to date. I have a lot of records. 

I'll bet that I've played my promo copy of Brubeck's "Jazz Impressions of The U.S.A." several hundred times. It is one of my MONO demo records that I use, not only for my own enjoyment but to initiate the uninitiated on just how good MONO records sound. I found the promo version in a used record store back in the late 70s, It was still sealed. Paid six bucks for it, an astronomical amount at the time for a used record. 

It still sounds great today. Paul Desmond was such a great alto player. That's music right there.
