The vinyl record is so back! More and more artists are releasing special edition promotional vinyl for their avid fans and the fans are more than willing to spend big bucks just to get ’em.
It’s not just the oldies who are really into custom vinyl printing, the young ones are so into it, too. It could be that they find online downloads too easy-to-get (one click of a mouse and it’s ours).
Maybe they want to EXPERIENCE music again,taking out the record from its sleeve and all. But I’m pretty sure it’s also because the vinyl records of today are of superior quality and awe-inspiring designs.
Here are some of the loveliest clear custom vinyl records pressing that can make any collector go crazy, via Erik Peterson of Hifidelics.
