before sales started to rebound, despite the growth of streaming services, YouTube and iTunes. According to industry data, vinyl album sales in the U.S. grew in 2021 for the 16th consecutive year as LP sales jumped by more than 50% in 2021, surpassing both digital and CD album sales. LPs also accounted for 38% of album sales in the country as 41.7 million LPs were sold, up more than 45-fold compared with 2006, when the vinyl comeback began as younger listeners started buying vinyl. 'We signed a five-year lease and that's my commitment,' Manley said... 'I feel like, unless something disastrously happens with the economy or some other thing, I think we'll be OK because the record business is a lot more secure than it was 15 or 20 years ago when it was actually pretty bad.'... The record store is far from the oldest business on State Street. Those honors go to places like University Book Store, founded in 1894, the Orpheum Theater (1926), Goodman's Jewelers (1933), Badger Liquor Shop (either 1935 or 1937) and Paul's Book Store (1954)."

I'm so glad B-Side Records is doing well. We've spent so much lovely time browsing there. Here's a photo I took in 2008:
I hope the new, larger space has as nice a feeling as the old one. And isn't it wonderful that vinyl outsells not only CDs but digital media? Surely, much of it is that people have switched to streaming, and we don't care so much about owning music.
Collecting records used to have something to do with fearing that you'd lose it if you didn't preserve everything you might want to be able to hear at any point in the rest of your life. Now, it must be some kind of treasuring of the object, even though the music itself is easily streamed.
Or are there really a lot of young people who can hear a difference in the sound? Does the audiophile still walk the face of the earth?
There is a Wikipedia article "Audiophile" and it talks about the "audiophile community." I don't know how esoteric that is, but in ordinary life, back in the 70s and 80s, you'd feel pressure to acquire stereo components that wouldn't incur disdain and tempted to overspend to actually impress these imperious people.
