Agree with Will here. As I've said before, the young bands my kids know/ have friends in/ listen to almost always put out their releases on vinyl.

Certainly it's not mainstream and is dwarfed by the download market, but our house is overflowing with 7 inch vinyl singles...almost all of them belonging to my kids. They've all insisted on getting turntables with their music systems. All their mates have turntables too.

What tends to happen is a band puts out a "limited edition" of a new release as a run of 250, 500 or 1000 (depending on band popularity) on vinyl and the real aficionados/ those on their "friends" lists etc buy those while everyone else downloads. The vinyl sometimes includes a download code as well so that you can get a copy of your digital system.

In fact, I bought my first vinyl for about 25 years a couple of weeks ago...a couple of singles from "Tom Williams and The Boat". It felt weird!
