Vinyl Records In The News
Vinyl records seeing resurgence in popularity
By Matthew Jacobs
Vinyl records are going for a spin again, as the once-universal music format makes a comeback across the recording industry.
Record sales skyrocketed in 2008, with 2.1 million vinyl albums sold through November, according to Nielsen SoundScan, an information system that tracks music sales. And 2009 saw the highest number of record sales since 1991.
In 2006 and 2007, vinyl record sales increased 14 percent as CD sales plummeted 35 percent, according to Nielsen.
The Compact Disc Store on Jefferson Highway, a local music store and Baton Rouge staple since its opening in November 1984, has reported a spike in sales in conjunction with the return of the classic record format.
“Five years ago, we started noticing that people were wanting vinyl again,” said Brad Pope, co-owner of The Compact Disc Store. “At that time, only a few things were on vinyl. Now, almost everything gets a [vinyl] release.”

Play it again: Vinyl records spin out of obscurity and find new fans
by ROD LOCKWOOD
BLADE STAFF WRITER
Imagine if all of a sudden people started buying typewriters again. And not just old fogeys fed up with computers, but young, hip types in their 20s.
Then imagine that rather than display those noisy old contraptions in a nook of their apartment, they actually used them all the time, to the degree that sales of things like typewriter ribbons actually increased over the course of a year.
Weird, huh?
This is the music industry in 2010. Decades after compact discs came in and gut-punched the vinyl record industry into oblivion, and about 10 years after downloading knee-capped the old long-player into what seemed like permanent obsolescence there's one part of the businesses that's making a comeback:

Sick Of It All To Reissue First Two Albums On Vinyl
Reflections Records will re-release the first two albums from New York hardcore legends Sick Of It All — "Blood, Sweat And No Tears" (originally released on July 12, 1989) and "Just Look Around" (1992). Both albums will feature original artwork but be packaged in a gatefold sleeve. They will be limited to 500 copies.
Sick Of It All's new album,"Based On A True Story", is scheduled for release on April 20 via Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Death To Tyrants" was recorded Antfarm Studios in Århus, Denmark with Danish producer Tue Madsen (Halford, Behemoth, Kataklysm, The Haunted).

The Society Of Rockets Announce Release Date For Double Vinyl
America is still number one in space and time exploration now that San Francisco's The Society of Rockets has recorded its fourth album, "Future Factory," due out March 16. The band's singer and cosmonaut leader, Joshua Babcock has proclaimed the 21-track psych-pop album as being "designed to function as an hour-long sonic map of utopias that never were and have yet to be."
The Society of Rockets are currently docked out in San Francisco's industrial Dogpatch neighborhood, where Babcock's team of musical chemists includes Adam Dobrer on bass, David Isbister on piano and keyboards, Steve Wertheim on drums, Robin Wageman on guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Lorelei David on theremin, flute, and xylophone. Longtime associate Ben Tinker also joined in, contributing all of the freshly unearthed analog synth tones peppered throughout "Future Factory," the follow-up to 2007's critically acclaimed "Our Paths Related."
The lab results for "Future Factory" have tested positive for a kind of Faust (Krautrock) meets Unrest ('90s Indie) meets Milton Nascimento (post-Tropicalia samba) concoction.
Babcock's original hypothesis was to take the songs from the "Future Factory" sessions and find a way to make them play in a different order on every listen, creating an audio jigsaw puzzle that would constantly rearrange itself. In the end, the band's enduring vinyl obsession prevailed, resulting in this lovingly crafted 180-gram white vinyl double album.

Minus the Bear announce Omni
Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear are very excited to announce the release of their new album, OMNI, set for a May 4th release on Dangerbird Records. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket), OMNI showcases the quintet's remarkable gift to craft visionary and gripping compositions, and with the assistance of Chiccarelli, revealing new layers in their songwriting as they pursue the next level in their inimitable musical style.

Beginning April 21st, Minus the Bear will embark on a 6-week North American tour premiering these new tracks. Dates to be announced shortly. OMNI marks the first release for the band on Dangerbird Records.
Over the years, Minus the Bear has won over legions of fans and critics with an exhilarating live show and a sound that is uniquely their own.

Vinyl still popular with city music fans
How are vinyl records doing across the pond? Thank you to Graeme Ogston at http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/ for this unique perspective.
Vinyl still popular with city music fans
Groucho owner Alistair ‘Breeks’ Brodie
Vinyl is still being embraced by Dundee’s discerning music buyers according to the city’s oldest record store (writes Graeme Ogston).
Groucho’s in the Nethergate has reported a huge rise in the amount of records being bought in favour of CDs, with the format now holding its own against its digital rivals.
Although vinyl LPs only accounted for 0.2% of sales for new releases in the UK last year, the local second-hand market for the format is booming.
Groucho’s owner Alastair ‘Breeks’ Brodie said people were returning to vinyl due to its “warmth” compared to the “coldness” of digital formats.
He said, “Vinyl sounds great and there is a richness and warmth you don’t get from CDs and downloads. The artwork is also a selling point and people like the whole package.
“Other customers see vinyl as an investment — you can’t download an artefact.”
Alastair said it wasn’t just former vinyl fans reliving their youth who were scouring the racks for LPs.
He said, “We’re finding classic rock from the 70s is selling very well and it is also selling to a younger clientele. A lot of these records were originally made for guys in their late teens.
“We also get collectors and people who have tried CDs and decided years later to go back to their old record collections and build them back up.”
Big sellers continue to be the old guard, with The Beatles and The Who proving particularly popular.
However, Alastair issued a cautious note to those music fans thinking they were sitting on a vinyl goldmine.
He said, “A lot of it is down to condition and how people treat their records. It’s like a car — if you have a Mini from the 60s and it is a beat up old wreck it won’t be worth the same as one that’s been kept in a garage.”
While there are still fortunes to be made, Alastair said these were few and far between.
He said, “If you were one of the few people to buy the Beatles first album on the day it came out, you might have the original gold label stereo version, which is worth thousands of pounds.
“We do get a lot of people offering us a collection they have inherited from an elderly parent and that’s when we see the Mantovani and Ken Dodd records that have no value whatsoever.”
Alastair said while the store was “feeling the pinch” like most other businesses in the current climate, vinyl was still paying its way.
He said, “Sales of record players are also up, now that you can use them to put your record collection onto your computer.
“I’m glad vinyl is still going strong and that’s why we stuck with it when all the other shops dropped it. The late John Peel said life has surface noise, and I totally agree with that — you don’t want to have everything pristine and crystal clear.”
