If music majors are having troubles in making their business plans evolve from CD media to online store, TGDaily reports that vinyl records are making a comeback. Following a mistake from one of its employee, Fred Meyer chain noticed that vinyl records were selling well, and now it is testing out vinyl sales in 60 stores in the northwest and Alaska and will be adding records to all of its stores in July.
According to the RIAA, vinyl record sales jumped 36% from 2006 to 2007, even though it might look impressive, one should look behind the percentage, and total sale volumes indicate that 1.3 million records were sold in 2007 while 511 million CDs during the same period.
