Keeping clean from dustĪirborne particles of dust are the enemy of vinyl however dust is very attractive to vinyl and the main reason for that is static electricity. The lack of harshness and better musicality compared to the high definition digital format is an odd phenomenon, as many LP's are taken from the digital masters. The sense of occasion as a record is removed from the sleeve and played, along with the large format artwork I'm sure is part of the appeal, and for me the sense of realism, detail and dynamics along with a warmth and musicality somehow lacking in the digital formats are the main benefits for myself and consumers.

Whilst more difficult to store and requiring more care in the day to day life, the benefits far outweigh these drawbacks for users. For a one-hundred-year-old format, we think that it is more than nostalgia or enhanced sound quality over compact disc and streaming but pride of ownership is the main reasons people are flocking to purchase their favourite artist on vinyl. It is a proven fact that vinyl records are making a comeback, research has shown another dramatic increase in sales for 2018 after a 53% increase on 2017, and research is showing some further increases for 2019.
