I can't be the only noticing the resurgence in vinyl sales. I believe they overtook CD sales last year for the first time in eons.
My lad got a new amp, speakers and turntable for Christmas and his interest in vinyl has reignited my own. I have always preferred physical product over downloads and streaming and enjoying even more time with my lad sifting through record stores has alerted me more to the "Record Store Day" movement and special releases.
To cut to the chase, and i don't know the economics of short run vinyl printing, but I wondered how viable it might be for Bill to release a special record? Maybe a 4 or 6 track EP on a 12" or, to really stand out, a 10" record.
Just a thought. Maybe too costly but I notice new vinyl releases tend to be priced circa £25 to £30 and some seem to be short volume runs of maybe 1,000 copies.
Mine is on pre-order. As I switched back to vinyl exclusively a couple of years ago I only hope the rest of the BeBop Deluxe catalog will follow.
