A few weeks ago I nearly fell over upon coming across this new LP for sale in a local store. Its great to see many new LPs now for sale something I never thought would ever return. but they have and sounds really good. highly recommend it.
I like the way the cover of the LP has been presented.

Hi Paul
Yes...I was talking to the people at the stores that are selling new LPs "they never sold records before" and the sales have been increasing a lot. Came across and bought a brand new release "Gone With The Wind" of the original soundtrack on LP.
I understand with the Blade Runner LP there was a special edition "not in the black vinyl" which got excellent reviews.

Even on the small Belgian market you can find a growing number of vinyls and records players. 10 years ago you could not find any new machines.

Hi Winbert
The new price of "Blade Runner" was NZ$29.99.
The new prices seem to range from around $20 up to $40 depending on the title. The stores out here called "The Warehouse" have also a web-site that you can find out a more accurate price "if you want" to check out a particular title.
Penny Lane Records here in the city is another very popular second hand store full of thousands of records all types, from $4 dollars up. I picked up really nice vinyl of the original soundtrack from "Jaws" for $10...sounded great
In general I really like looking through old records as there is so much out there, and a lot of it in very good second hand condition

Our local HMV store has a vinyl section and pretty full it looks. Guess every conected store does the same. Sales are certainly taking off. But vinyl never really went away.
