IS vinyl making a comeback? The reality perhaps is that for many, it never went away.
Last year, it’s said that more black discs were sold between January and September than during the whole of 2010.
The figure bucks the trend of tough times for those selling CDs and other physical musical formats.
Look no further for proof of the enduring appeal of old style records than a Huddersfield business which is arguably the country’s biggest vinyl dealer.
Vinyl Tap was founded 26 years ago by record collector Tony Boothroyd who buys and sells around the world.
The business is a haunt for music collectors worldwide and trades through 20 websites worldwide. It has existed solely on line for 12 years but now Tony has reopened a walk-in shop in the heart of the town.
It seems that there is room for old and new technology to exist alongside each other and that for some, vinyl will never go out of style.
