If this is correct, it supports my belief that the vinyl boom is about distinction. That is, if most people listen via streaming or downloads—something immaterial, aside from the player—vinyl is a conspicuous way of standing out as separate from the crowd. Not everyone, of course, but clearly people without a turntable are buying for reasons other than listening.

The sales figures for Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are impressive. I should check them out.

The Beatles had some great cover art but the cover for this new single is awful.

Jesus Yikes, that is dreadful. I guess all the budget was spent on the computer stuff and they were left with recycling some 1984 synthpop 12" single sleeve.Marky Dread wrote: ↑28 Oct 2023, 7:55pmThe Beatles had some great cover art but the cover for this new single is awful.
