I work for an indie music distributor, and LP sales have dramatically increased my chances of keeping my job! We are receiving shipments of LP's that literaly weigh tons, on a weekly basis, and they are flying out the door. (and I thought I had lifted my last box of LP's 15 years ago!)

Aside from the increased business, unless we sell to distributors, these are one-way sales - no returns unless defective. Also, most of the records are of high quality audio - 150 to 200 gram vinyl. The folks that are buying these are not likely to switch to Mp3 downloads. Bless 'em!
