VINYL’S BACK!
~ WHO’D have believed after all these years (cassettes, CDs, iTunes, etc) that new vinyl records are being pressed because they are again “in demand.”
~ BUSINESS is “so” good that United Record Pressing (since 1949) (at: http://www.urpressing.com/)
Nashville, TN has just built a new, larger, facility.
~ ITS history: http://www.urpressing.com/history.php
~ DO YOU still have vinyl records that you bought back in the day?…
~ DO YOU still have a record player?
~ WHO were your favorite artists?
~ THE VICTROLA record player is from the McLaughlin Hotel. It was in the “common” area upstairs, where hotel guests could listen to the latest songs and music artists, as well as write postcards home to their families.
