Are vinyl records making a comeback?

1 January 2014 Last updated at 17:35 GMT

New technology often pushes out the old, but despite the invention of the CD and the era of digital music downloads, vinyl records still have a loyal fan base.

Steve Evans reports from a factory in Germany that says demand for records is soaring.

Inneresting but I don't think it has really died out.

The local branch of FNAC boasted shelves that are positively groaning with new vinyl. Too chart acts too. Serious bands though not any teenybob rubbish.

I'm lucky enough to have a collector's record shop in my home town and I'm like a little kid in a sweatshop spending literally a couple of hours perusing each time I visit.

Believe it or not, there's a hell of a lot if stuff you just cannot by in a digital format for love nor money.

I'm a huge Maddie Prior fan and I also love Renaissance. There's quite a bit of maddy/steeleye on digital but a hell of a lot of the cataligue has been deleted and the only way to pick any up is to visit shops like this and record fairs.

I still get a real kick out of going record shopping. There is something exciting about getting home from say Blackmarket Records, opening your bag and placing the record on the turntable having had a chat with the shop staff and other regulars.

Yes I agree totally. I think it's the moment I slide it out of the inner sleeve that I enjoy most.

I know exactly what you mean.

You can't beat the feeling of coming home with a bunch of unreleased white labels / test presses either.

And then again, too many to mention

Do you really code for a living ???

I like CDs. They're shiny. And to kids these days, that's still as ridiculously out of date as someone who likes vinyl.

I also like Dr Holly Marten.

Yes but those nasty shiny plastic cases are easily broken with a misplaced stiletto heel.
