Vinyl records outsold digital download in the UK last week

“Ultimately, in this digital world our customers are continually looking for a tangible, physical way to celebrate their love for their favourite artists – something that digital services simply cannot offer."

Maybe true, but in a way, it’s the best of both worlds.
I like to find interesting old stuff on vinyl and I like to buy new at times. But, with the new I also get a digital download card (or if on Amazon, often an immediate download) so I get to enjoy the tangible record but can also add the album to my itunes library and pull it up to stream on my stereo via my Apple TV. And if I’m just shuffling the whole library, more songs to randomly pop up.
I also have no idea when I bought a CD last and see zero reason to.
