Record sales: vinyl hits 25-year high
LP sales up by 53% on 2015 after deaths of many music greats throughout the year and a trend for returning to ?tangible music?
Sales of vinyl in 2016 reached a 25-year high as consumers young and old have once again embraced physical formats of music.
More than 3.2m LPs were sold last year, a rise of 53% on last year and the highest number since 1991 when Simply Red?s Stars was the bestselling album. This was also the first year that spending on vinyl outstripped that spent on digital downloads.

I've always believed that if you give the consumer quality they'll buy. I proposed that DVDs be packaged with such mementos as a booklet of the shoot, a membership card to a fan club, etc. People can call me a luddite but I still sell a handful of super 8 films each year.
