Daren: Perhaps, the difference in popularity of vinyl is due, in some part, to the advent of the internet and people becoming involved in audio forums. I collected a few records back in the 70's to 80's, mostly new releases coming out at the time. Then, it wasn't until the past ten years that I began buying up older vinyl. With many of us members, here, sharing musical interests, I have had more exposure to bands I never had contemplated in the past. I've been resistive to buying new releases, or re-releases on current vinyl.
