Current Event 21

Vinyl Records and Turntables Are Gaining Sales

This article really caught my attention. The reason being, I am a huge Elvis Presley fan. I know what you're thinking? Elvis Presley? Were you even alive when he died? The answer is no. I am only 23, but my aunt was lucky enough to see his last concert before his demise. Anyone who knows me personally, in any way, knows how I feel about the king. I love his voice and I really love his face. I have a lot of Elvis memorabilia, including, an old collection of his vinyl records and my aunt's old record player. I have been fascinated by Elvis for so long and appreciate the time of the vinyl. I am really excited to hear that our generation is appreciating it as well. I have Elvis CD's but is it really the same? The sound is different and the authenticity is a part of the Elvis Presley feel...for me anyway. I feel that I am lucky to have a piece of the past and I stoked that records are being reborn.
