In an effort to keep up with those hip, vinyl-loving kids today, gigantic entertainment retailer Best Buy has announced plans to start carrying vinyl records amongst their stacks of seven-dollar romantic comedies, 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection CDs and electronics. To test out the product, they will be releasing vinyl copies of new albums at various undisclosed locations.
"We've got an executive here who's basically responding to his own children and is sponsoring a test to see if there's a market," Best Buy CEO Brad told the Star Tribune. "As an old vinyl collector, this is close to my heart."
I like to see 'big box' retailer giving vinyl a spin, but hopefully it will not be at the expense of the independent music retailer. So, support them both and we can keep the vinyl record sales shooting skyward!
Here are some new releases:
