Why? The sound, very short and sweet answer. And it does help that bands are picking up on the collectible marketing aspect, with these limited releases. But I have been a fan of vinyl since childhood and, for me, vinyl will never die.

I've known vinyl has been in a revival period for a while. Ironically, an almost dead part of the music industry is getting profits. Did you really think this was a surprise?

Plus, the element of scarcity is still a very big deal to a society that values matters of ownership and engages in a serious auction environment. To see this in play, visit www.vinylcollective.com to get a gauge on how this is playing among punk, hardcore, metal, indie, and emo bands and labels.

But it's a fad that's related to the 'lo-fi' way of doing things. I'm glad to see vinyl is at least in the mainstream as a fad. At least it's still around... there's a certain mojo with a real vinyl record. :) Don’t get me wrong, I love vinyl. But it’s a fad that’s related to the ‘lo-fi’ way of doing things.
