In	
  the	
  U.K,	
  the	
  trend	
  is	
  even	
  more	
  encouraging	
  for	
  vinyl,	
  as	
  2012	
  
sales	
  rose	
  15.3	
  percent	
  from	
  2011	
  –	
  this,	
  at	
  a	
  time	
  when	
  CD	
  sales	
  
declined	
  20	
  percent,	
  downloads	
  rose	
  15	
  percent,	
  and	
  overall	
  music	
  
sales	
  declined	
  11.2	
  percent.	
  Only	
  389,000

According	
  to	
  2012	
  sales	
  figures,	
  
vinyl	
  record	
  album	
  sales	
  in	
  the	
  
United	
  States	
  jumped	
  17.7	
  percent	
  
to	
  almost	
  4.55	
  million	
  units.	
  At	
  the	
  
same	
  time,	
  CD	
  sales	
  continued	
  to	
  
decline,	
  dropping	
  13.5	
  percent	
  
from	
  2011	
  to	
  193.4	
  million	
  units.	
  
Digital	
  downloads	
  continued	
  to	
  grow	
  at	
  a	
  very	
  healthy	
  rate	
  and	
  
now	
  represent	
  37.2	
  percent	
  of	
  all	
  music	
  album	
  sales.	
  	
  Moreover,	
  
download	
  stores	
  finally	
  passed	
  large	
  discounters	
  such	
  as	
  Target	
  
and	
  Walmart	
  with

  more	
  than	
  111.7

The	
  bad	
  news	
  for	
  the	
  music	
  industry	
  is	
  that	
  overall	
  sales	
  declined	
  
4.4	
  percent.	
  But	
  amidst	
  all	
  that	
  data,	
  the	
  resurgence	
  of	
  vinyl	
  looks	
  
impressive;	
  especially	
  because	
  2012	
  represented	
  the	
  fifth	
  
consecutive	
  year	
  of	
  double-­‐digit	
  sales	
  growth	
  for	
  a	
  format	
  left	
  to	
  
die	
  under	
  the	
  metal	
  feet	
  of	
  the	
  Digital	
  Empire’s	
  AT-­‐AT.	
  	
  Yet,	
  does	
  
that	
  mean	
  that	
  the	
  renewed	
  interest	
  in	
  vinyl	
  and	
  turntables	
  is	
  a	
  
rejection	
  of	
  MP3s	
  by	
  20-­‐
somethings,	
  or	
  is	
  this	
  just	
  another	
  
annoying	
  hipster-­‐fueled	
  fad?	
  
	
  
Having	
  dug	
  into	
  the	
  numbers	
  and	
  
spoken	
  with	
  turntable	
  
manufacturers,	
  we	
  think	
  it	
  is	
  
probably	
  a	
  little	
  bit	
  of	
  both.	
  The	
  
17.7	
  percent	
  jump	
  in	
  vinyl	
  record	
  
sales	
  does	
  not	
  include	
  used	
  record	
  sales,	
  and	
  it	
  is	
  unclear	
  if	
  the	
  
math	
  also	
  accounts	
  for	
  all	
  online	
  and	
  indie	
  label	
  offerings.	
  Vinyl	
  
still	
  only	
  accounts	
  for	
  1.44	
  percent	
  of	
  new	
  U.S.	
  album	
  sales	
  overall,	
  
and	
  the	
  top	
  selling	
  album,	
  Jack	
  White’s	
  “Blunderbuss,”	
  moved	
  a	
  
paltry	
  34,000

Last	
  year,	
  2.8	
  million	
  vinyl	
  records	
  were	
  sold	
  in	
  the	
  United	
  States,	
  
according	
  to	
  Nielsen	
  Soundscan,	
  and	
  sale	
  as	
  this	
  year	
  could	
  be	
  40%	
  
higher.	
  But	
  Soundscan	
  uses	
  bar	
  codes	
  to	
  track	
  sales;	
  and,	
  “the	
  
majority	
  of	
  the	
  stuff	
  we	
  press,	
  it	
  doesn’t	
  even	
  have	
  a	
  bar	
  code,”	
  
according	
  to	
  Slusarz.	
  	
  Add	
  that	
  to	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  vinyl	
  records	
  
are	
  sold	
  at	
  independent	
  record	
  stores,	
  gigs	
  and	
  on	
  niche	
  web	
  sites	
  
and	
  it’s	
  not	
  hard	
  to	
  see	
  that	
  the	
  
vast	
  majority	
  of	
  vinyl	
  sales	
  goes	
  
unreported.	
  
If	
  Slusarz	
  15%	
  estimate	
  is	
  even	
  
close	
  to	
  accurate,	
  vinyl	
  sales	
  could	
  
top	
  20

  this

There	
  is	
  also	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  vinyl	
  support	
  in	
  such	
  musical	
  genres	
  as	
  hip-­‐hop,	
  punk,	
  and	
  heavy	
  metal.	
  "Indie"	
  music	
  is	
  now	
  being	
  pressed	
  into	
  colored	
  vinyl,	
  
limited	
  edition	
  releases,	
  and	
  picture	
  discs.	
  These	
  are	
  the	
  future	
  collectibles	
  and	
  sometimes	
  sell	
  for	
  higher-­‐than-­‐average	
  prices.	
  
The

  community	
  has	
  responded	
  as	
  well	
  with	
  literally	
  thousands	
  of	
  web	
  sites	
  dedicated	
  to	
  the

  they	
  give	
  their	
  fans	
  a	
  choice	
  of	
  music	
  formats,	
  with	
  vinyl	
  appearing	
  to	
  be	
  taking	
  the	
  lead.	
  	
  
	
  
Then	
  there	
  is	
  the	
  actual	
  physical	
  aspect	
  of	
  going	
  out	
  to	
  your	
  local	
  record	
  store	
  and	
  buying	
  a	
  record.	
  Browsing	
  through	
  bins	
  of	
  
used	
  vinyl,	
  anticipating	
  the	
  new	
  releases	
  and	
  rushing	
  to	
  the	
  store	
  to	
  get	
  that	
  new	
  record	
  from	
  your	
  favorite	
  band	
  is	
  exciting	
  
and	
  pleasurable.	
  The	
  downloading	
  generation	
  has	
  discovered	
  the	
  tangible	
  benefits	
  of	
  vinyl	
  and	
  records	
  sales

  soaring

totaling	
  more	
  than	
  three	
  million

  each

Some	
  records	
  still	
  maintain	
  their	
  value	
  decades	
  after	
  
their

  and	
  have

It's

  the

"I

  there

  "Otherwise,

  • 2.   2  FatBeats  Records  Group  [FBRG]  Back,  To  The  Future       Vinyl  album  sales  actually  managed  to  outpace  digital's  sales  growth,   increasing  by  17.7%  to  4.55  million  units.  However,  that  is  still  a  meager   1.44%  of  all  U.S.  album  sales  in  2012.     Billboard  Magazine   1 In  the  U.K,  the  trend  is  even  more  encouraging  for  vinyl,  as  2012   sales  rose  15.3  percent  from  2011  –  this,  at  a  time  when  CD  sales   declined  20  percent,  downloads  rose  15  percent,  and  overall  music   sales  declined  11.2  percent.  Only  389,000  new  units  were  sold  in   Great  Britain:  The  xx,  David  Bowie,  Jack  White,  Adele,  and  Tame   Impala  accounting  for  the  top  5.       Vinyl  Strikes  Back!  Worldwide.     According  to  2012  sales  figures,   vinyl  record  album  sales  in  the   United  States  jumped  17.7  percent   to  almost  4.55  million  units.  At  the   same  time,  CD  sales  continued  to   decline,  dropping  13.5  percent   from  2011  to  193.4  million  units.   Digital  downloads  continued  to  grow  at  a  very  healthy  rate  and   now  represent  37.2  percent  of  all  music  album  sales.    Moreover,   download  stores  finally  passed  large  discounters  such  as  Target   and  Walmart  with  sales  of  more  than  111.7  million  units.       2   The  bad  news  for  the  music  industry  is  that  overall  sales  declined   4.4  percent.  But  amidst  all  that  data,  the  resurgence  of  vinyl  looks   impressive;  especially  because  2012  represented  the  fifth   consecutive  year  of  double-­‐digit  sales  growth  for  a  format  left  to   die  under  the  metal  feet  of  the  Digital  Empire’s  AT-­‐AT.    Yet,  does   that  mean  that  the  renewed  interest  in  vinyl  and  turntables  is  a   rejection  of  MP3s  by  20-­‐ somethings,  or  is  this  just  another   annoying  hipster-­‐fueled  fad?     Having  dug  into  the  numbers  and   spoken  with  turntable   manufacturers,  we  think  it  is   probably  a  little  bit  of  both.  The   17.7  percent  jump  in  vinyl  record   sales  does  not  include  used  record  sales,  and  it  is  unclear  if  the   math  also  accounts  for  all  online  and  indie  label  offerings.  Vinyl   still  only  accounts  for  1.44  percent  of  new  U.S.  album  sales  overall,   and  the  top  selling  album,  Jack  White’s  “Blunderbuss,”  moved  a   paltry  34,000  units.  The  second  best  selling  LP?  The  Beatles   “Abbey  Road”.  Digital  Trends   Fatbeats  Nexus5  Manufacturing   FBRG  plans  vinyl  mastering  &  manufacturing  business  expansion  with   the  acquisition  and  operation,  of  one  of  North  America’s  largest  vinyl   record  pressing  plants.  The  new  24/7  operational  facility  attempts  to   keep  pace  with  growing  horizontal  and  vertical  market  buying  trends.   The  turnkey  UPS  Logistics  supported  LP  supplier,  proposed  to  go   online  fall  2013.     The  Vinyl-­‐to-­‐Mobility  File  Effect   The  tonal  quality  of  your  music  file  is  directly  relative  to  your  rate   of  movement.  If  one’s  rate  is  that  of  jogging  of  faster,  than  mp3   file  size  appropriates  a  myriad  of  mobile  digital  devices,  walking   pace  around  the  home  dictates  raw  files  found  in  CD’s,  sitting  to   listen  at  the  couples  pace  of  comfortable…  only  the  warmth  of   vinyl   keeps   pace.   Sit   still,   hookup   to   the   awesome   warmth   of   twelve  by  twelve  inch  wax!   “The  24/7  operational  turnkey   vinyl  LP  plant  is  proposed  to  go   online  fall  2013.”
