Yes, where would we be without the record presses in the Czeck Republic that made cheap Indie records possible ...

The part that shocked me in the article was this: "Yet, while vinyl sales are growing, some who buy the records don't actually play them. Last year a BBC/ICM poll found 48% of those questioned said they'd never played the vinyl they'd bought and 7% said they didn't even own a turntable."

""I have vinyls in my room but it's more for decor. I don't actually play them," Jordan Katende, a student in Manchester, told BBC News."

Oh fuck.

cheap, not anymore. they put the prices up 20% after the Brexit vote.

I don't play most of the new records I buy, I'm too busy

I expect that would just be the drop in the pound against the Euro, rather than them upping the prices.
