VINYL'S COMEBACK?

By Joe Tempesta. Sales of vinyl records in the U.S. have increased every year since 2007, with 6 million units sold in 2013, according the Nielsen SoundScan, the industry standard for tracking music sales. That's a 30 percent increase from the 4.6 million units sold in 2012, an impressive statistic considering overall album sales have declined in each of the past three years. However, vinyl records accounted for only 2.1 percent of overall U.S. album sales last year. This documentary explores whether or not vinyl is truly making a comeback, with various retailers, production experts and artists from around the city of Boston sharing their experiences, insights and opinions on the once industry-leading medium for music.
