In a music industry now dominated by iTunes and music streaming sights such as Spotify, Napster and Pandora, the CD and physical music store are reportedly in sharp ( and potentially terminal) decline. But a curious development in music consuption has seen vinyl, the format ostensibly rendered extinct by compact disc with "its perfect" digital sound, make an unlikely, but significant cultural and commerical comeback.
In an era in which even digital album sales have fallen, vinyl has bucked the trend. In 2014, records sales grew by more than 50% to hit more than a million, the highest since 1996- and the upward curve has continued in 2015.
Of course, there were those who never lose faith in the format. Vinyl is at the heart of Record Store Day, an event created in 2007 when some 700 independent record stores in the US combined to celebrate music retailing and the passion for music collecting. Now also a firm fixture in the UK, on April 18 Record Store Day annually collaborates with musical artist to release special edition CDs and vinyl that are strictly exclusive to the day. The event is now even more buoyed in the wake of the renewed enthusiasm for tracks on wax.

Some things to know is that now a days its what "fans" call the "warmth" of vinyl sounds better than most newer ways of lisening to music. It's the distinctive lack of audio cleanness and perfection that catches the attention of their ears.
The sound of vinyl is so more arguably more diverse.This is a factor explored by DJ, Colleen Murphy, who has set up a series of public listening events in a variety of locations chosen to maximise the acoustic impact of the music (including churches). LPs are played in their entirety, a key element in the contemporary pleasures of the format. The revolutionary design feature of CD players was their ability to enable listeners to skip tracks and reshuffle albums. Vinyl, on the other hand, was and is different. Track skipping is a tricky business and, due to the fragility of the discs, you run the risk of dropping the stylus and causing damage. Consequently, the album as a track-by-track experience (as intended by the artists and central to the listening experience of classic LPs such as Dark Side of the Moon) has returned.
