vinyl revival

Records coming back

Vinyl revival refers to the resurgence of interest in vinyl records that began in the 2000s and accelerated through the 2010s, after CDs and digital formats had largely replaced them.

Enthusiasts cite warmer sound quality, the tactile experience of handling records, and the appeal of large-format album artwork.

The revival has sustained new pressing plants and driven record stores back into business: The vinyl revival has made turntables cool again.
