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. [Cool]

highly recommend it.

I like the way the cover of the LP has been presented.

even bought a new needle [Big Grin]

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. [Cool]

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.

Vinyl like Super 8mm, has a charm all of it's own Dominique!

My only regret from going full on into my 3rd passion of life, is that I now neglect my very first..music.

I cannot explain the feeling you achieve when you play and mix a quality piece of music on one of these to almost 1000 people in my heyday,

It is simply indescribable and can never be emulated on MP3 or CD!

I was no Fat Boy Slim or David Guetta but 1000 on the mobile circuit for a paid event says you were doing something right! [Wink]

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 [Smile]

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.
