The Bon Iver LP I purchased at UO also came with a password to download the LP as an MP3. A lot of other new LPs that I bought also came with a CD. Really the best of both worlds.

CD sales are dropping but the under 30 crowd is willing to spend 18-25 bucks for an LP?  That's surprising. I'm sure its not about sound quality.

Yes, it is true and for the ones I talked to, it is about sound quality. I talked to two Gonzaga law students who spent more than $100 on new vinyl. One was thrilled he was able to pick up The Black Keys El Comino 45 RPM on 180g vinyl. He opted to spend more for the 45 RPM because of the sound quality. Not every youngster buying vinyl is doing it for sound quality, but a high percentage are and that is very cool.

Yeah, and thanks to you, Laura, my 45rpm copy of Fleetwood Mac is on its way. Maybe I can do a mini shootout between it and the 33rpm I bought on RSD!

Paul,

I'm always happy to help spend your money on vinyl.
