Re: Vinyl article

Very good article - I am one of those who are increasingly returning to their old vinyl and buying some new vinyl (I wish it wasn't so expensive though). I think that the writer gets to the nub of the matter when he comments that the digital/online music phenomenum is resulting in short attention spans - in contrast playing a vinyl album results in greater commitment to listen to an entire album.

I've just enjoyed listening to the latest PiL album on vinyl - all 4 sides - I don't think I'd have reached the end if I had the CD. There's something about the gap between changing sides that gives me a choice of either deciding that's enough of that particular album or committing myself for the duration. My 18 year old son seems to have inherited this trait and actively seeks out vinyl by the (modern) bands that he listens to. Between the 2 of us we totally conform to the upper and lower ranges of the demographic suggested in the Guardian article.
