"teen" maybe imagined word as remembered by my old fart friend Pierre
when recounting the clip on our local news about a shop in Denton that
we alll know, announcing vinyl was back in a big way.
Same story from my local shop, who is BOOMING on (basically) vinyl alone.
Nobody is saying vinyl can compete in any way with other means. simpy
that it is selling "Like Hotcakes"
I know it gets my bucks, and OPC too
I think there is just a lot of "practical music listeners" on here, to
whom kollekting may sem silly
