Vinyl is back!

 I remember when compact disc became the popular format. One of my favorite places to buy LPs went only CD. LPs disappeared from shelves everywhere a year or so later. The trailblazer shop? They closed as they followed the trend too early! For years my LPs languished, in boxes in the shed. The turntable in its box on alongside them. Suddenly "vinyl" became popular again. Actually it was a gradual return but I was slow to notice. Compact Disc is now the format slowly withering away - slowly being killed by music streaming services. I now have my vinyl and turntable in the house again and I have started listening to it again. The latest home theater amplifiers now have phono inputs.  Welcome back vinyl! If only the high street outlets weren't charging premium prices for new LPs. I even have a second turntable for when I am working in the shed!
