Vinyl’s Second Lives
Posted in Vinyl Records on Jan 15th, 2009
There seems to be two things going on simultaneously with regards to vinyl records. First, there is a resurgance. People are rediscoving vinyl records after over 20 years later. Something about the sound is calling people back to the record player. It will be interesting to see what happens to the record as we approach a new decade in two years.
Secondly, old records are being scrapped and turned into art memoabilia. If you search the Internet one can find coasters, bowls, clocks and other items made from 33rpm LPs. I, myself, have a couple coasters that were once the center labels of albums from Chicago and Supertramp. There’re neat to have around both as remembrances as well as items of discussion.
Maybe at one point we’ll be pressing ole vinyl records again while we resurrect old ones as dissussion topics.
