Subject: What do you do with LPs you want to get rid of
Yes, indeed...the death of vinyl has been greatly exaggerated. Whereas CD
sales continue to plunge, sales of LPs and 7"s continue to climb.
Youngsters
are still downloading their MP3s, but they are also looking to have
something
tangible to hold onto and look at. This is especially true in the UK.
This article definitely warms this vinyl lover's heart:

Thanks to Mike Bennett for the plug but where’s the love? Reckless wasn’t
a bad choice but you could have kept those records in the audities family.
And as far as old vinyl is concerned, there is a market for it, but it has
to be the right record in the right condition. "Frampton Comes
Alive"...not
much value. You'll be lucky to get a quarter for it. But an early punk 7"
picture sleeve could bring you some big bucks.

So if any Auditeers are looking to unload their old vinyl collection, feel
free to drop us a line at _info@platterpus.com_ (mailto:info@platterpus.com)
.
Tell us what you have and how much you're looking to get for it.
If you’re in the mood to rekindle your vinyl love, we still have plenty of
Taxi Boys EPs.
