While the Covid crisis has been disastrous for live music, it has turned the tables on sales of old-fashioned LPs, which are now at their highest level since the early 1990s. Older, nostalgic music lovers are returning to the vinyl format of their youth. Classics like Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Oasis’s (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black and Nirvana’s Nevermind were the biggest-selling vinyl albums of 2020. Latest figures show vinyl albums account for nearly one in five of music sales. “Vinyl is appealing to fans of all ages and backgrounds because it feels like the ultimate expression of the artist’s craft.”
