Great story, Ron, thanks for posting!

The owner is worried that the trend might not continue, but I think vinyl will be considered cool (again) for quite a while. It's not just fans, it's musicians behind the trend.

The death of the CD has also long been proclaimed, and exaggerated. While on pop/rock for a large part it may have given way to downloads, I think it will very much stay alive for the classical market and probably jazz as well. And new titles are still available in the format also for pop/rock, and this will continue for quite some time.

Their pressing quality has been hit/miss unfortunately. The new Sticky Fingers (2LP) reissue seems to be getting good reviews though. The single LP was pressed in France.
