Vinyl's Comeback

As an aside to HypnoChodes Killer LP's question and the great list of albums on there.
How does seeing all the racks with vinyl LP's make you feel when you go into record shops?
It makes me feel happy. It's like how it used to be. I love using my fingers to move them, It's great to see all those long-lost albums returned to how they should be. Some prices are a bit shocking, but the vinyl is thicker. If you want to buy it then you get the long-lost pleasure of physically owning an a record! Something you can take home; pull off the inner sleeve with its annoying static charge and carefully place it on the turntable and enjoy the sleeve art and notes at your leisure

Wait till you see what the kids are into next. Casettes are making a comeback.
Ive fixed multiple cassetes and casette players because of this revival.
Check out the price of sony walkmans on ebay....egad.

@Arnoldjrmmer walkman prices seem to be all over the place, whether the cassette works or not.
Of course most of them are going to need a new belt.

I imagine the kids who are interested in cassettes will soon lose interest because even with a good deck, sound quality and reliability are just too unstable.

I have a few cassette decks, most JVC, but when I listen to a tape I think, "Why am I torturing myself with this?"
