While on my ever boring lunch hour today, I was reading the Reading Eagle (gag) and came across a fantastic article in the entertainment section on how vinyl record sales are slowly reviving themselves. The article, by Sarah Skidmore talked extensively about how music fans are slowly beginning to purchase the vinyls, reaching out for the better sound quality provided by the analog sound over that of the digital.
Another product seeing a boost in sales; turntables.
While some are skeptical, there's no doubt that in independent music stores vinyl is making a comeback. The most popular album sold seems to be The Beatles with 'Abbey Road' along with favorites from the White Stripes, Foo Fighters and Pink Floyd. Other artists such as Madonna and Elvis Costello are reissuing albums into the LP format for listeners to rediscover and appreciate the vinyl sound and quality.
Don't worry, if you don't live near a local independent record store, Amazon.com has it's own section on the website dedicated to vinyl records, and BestBuy is starting to test sales in select stores and online.

I love albums on vinyl. Unfortunately, my record player's needle is broken and I need to get a new one. I have Radiohead, Bright Eyes, The Mars Volta, Billy Joel and Crosby, Stills & Nash albums on vinyl and I hope to expand.
Also, the Reading Eagle is nothing but pure quality, I don't know what you're talking about, haha.
