Hey, baby boomer, you didn’t throw out your record player and all your old LPs, did you? You see, vinyl is experiencing something of a renaissance. Mainstream music retailers, spurred by a 36 percent jump in record sales from 2006 to 2007, have started selling LPs again. (CD sales dropped 17 percent in the same period.) And many bands are releasing new albums on vinyl in addition to the usual CD and digital download. Adherents insist that listening to an album on vinyl gives the sound more warmth and depth than digital media.
