Vinyl, live music and a lot of pent-up desire

Live music returned with a vengeance: festivals, bars, small venues, and large stages rocked this summer like they hadn't in years. And with this return, so did the love for vinyl. More and more people are discovering that listening to music on LPs offers something special, a connection that's unmatched.

Why is vinyl more alive than ever?

Because it has a soul. The sound is more real, more human. And besides, the physical object has a charm that never fades. The covers are decorative, the colors of the records captivate, and the ritual of taking it out, putting it on the spin, and sitting down to listen... is priceless. A good shelf for storing vinyl albums turns your collection into a part of your home. A part of you.

According to the latest data, vinyl sales grew by 90% in 2021. Crazy, right? The industry has embraced the format again, and music stores have been flooded with new editions and special reissues that have us running straight to find space in our LP storage systems.
