Record Store

Of course I was incorrect in saying that record stores are disappearing -- they have come back in full force over the past several years, with over 1200 independent record stores in the USA alone. Some people may think of them as a thing of the past, but vinyl really is becoming ever more popular. In fact, vinyl sales are growing faster than any other physical music format. Whether it's the old-school appeal, the intimate experience, the high-quality artwork, or the physical connection to the music (or all of the above), vinyl records are finding increasingly more fans.
