[78-L] Vinyl continues its comeback

[Rodger Holtin]

There is also an article in the current (came yesterday, whatever month it is) issue of the AARP mag.  They took great joy in quoting the inner sleeves that Columbia printed in the late 1960s, something about being assured that "this record will never become obsolete."  The tone on the reference was rather, "don't they look silly today for having said that?" - and yet, there article supports exactly that - it has not become obsolete.  Well, not just yet, anyway, and that depends on your definition of "obsolete."  Is the techology obsolete even if the public acceptance is not?  They, too, noted that CD sales are dropping like a rock.
 
The good news in all this for us, is that somebody will keep making turntables, cartridges and other disco-gizmos.
 
Enjoy it while it lasts.
