This is some good news for those who like records. I guess that they had kept their presses and the people who know how to operate them.

I am rather glad that vinyl is making a comeback. They're typically overpriced to no end, but hey, so are CDs.

New ones do cost an arm and a leg, but I get those sparingly. I mostly buy used.

I dig the warmth of vinyl but the pops irritate me to no end.

I'll gladly take the occasional "pop" (which is rare if you take care of your vinyl) over badly mastered, overly compressed CDs.
