Stop into your local used record store, and chances are, the people sifting through albums are a bit younger than the actual records.
And if the stores are more crowded than you remember, you’re not wrong. Once considered an artifact of the past, today, the vinyl record market is growing >7% a year! In an increasingly digital world, buyers and artists both are turning to a more authentic experience.
We asked our team to share their favorite vintage (70s/80s/90s) vinyl albums – so if you’re into nostalgia, these may take you on a walk down memory lane.
