There are several reasons why people still listen to vinyl. Here are just 5 of them:
1. Superior sound: Vinyl gives an analogue
sound that is unmatched. The music and vocals are much closer to the way the
artist sounds live due to a lossless format that hasn’t been over-compressed.
2. Record culture: Vinyl is a culture. When
you buy and listen to vinyl you become part of that culture. And, unlike much
of the digital world in which we live today, this is a culture that includes
real, tangible connections.
3. The vinyl experience: Forget swiping or
tapping a screen. Vinyl delivers a genuine experience. Leafing through your record
collection, removing the chosen record from its sleeve, carefully placing
it on the turntable, and finally, placing the needle on the groove. Then comes
that delightful crackle. With vinyl, listening to music is an activity, not a
background to the main event.
4. Longevity: With a little TLC, records
last a long time. Records from decades ago sound just as good today as they
did when they were released provided they are kept in good-quality record
sleeves and treated with the respect they deserve.
5. Resell value: Records are an investment.
You can enjoy them now, but if you decide to sell them in the future, they will
hold their value. In some cases, the value may even rise. Compare that with the
bargain bin of great albums on CD or music simply held somewhere in cyberspace
and streamed to your phone.

moment in the spotlight, vinyl records are very much here to stay. At Sleeves-n-More,
