Do these sales include exports? I've got a lot of UK vinyl on my shelves. So could the imports include a global UK vinyl fetish?

What's most interesting to me is that DJ vinyl is dead as a doornail. This means the slack has been picked up by the ordinary music listeners.

Technics stopped production recently. I expect the others (Stanton, Vestax, Numark) to follow suit. Right now sticks and/or laptops (or time coded vinyl) are king. CD is just as dead. DJ's just want to travel light I guess. Now that the industry has adopted the 24/96 capable CDJs for the most part, it's not looking good at all. Almost all my go to online dance vinyl sites have shifted to mp3 and .wav. I'm very sad.
