Record Stores Fight to Be Long-Playing
By BEN SISARIO
...
Products that aren't fundamentally made up of ones and zeros - vinyl
records, for instance, which have a habit of turning casual fans into
collectors - have proved a salvation for many retailers. Eric Levin, the
owner of Criminal Records in Atlanta and one of the organizers of Record
Store Day, said vinyl accounted for a quarter of his music sales.
"That may only be a niche as we go forward," Mr. Levin said, "but it'll
be a giant niche you can make a lot of money on."

I keep thinking of Chad Kassem, and how he was once a homeless
dishwasher in a small Kansas city. Now, thanks to LPs, he lives in a
big house on the top of a hill overlooking the same town.

I'm thinking of all the nameless small retailers and record companies that
we never hear of that closed their doors because they pinned their hopes on
vinyl.

But that goes for *any* small business. If you don't do it
correctly, you lose.

As does success. I would go so far as to say that Chad Kassem owes the LP
little or nothing. He owes his success to good business practices.

Speaking of you thinking of things you never heard of,
you must be thinking of good sounding music.

They're mentioned at the top of the article. Besides, we're more
likely to hear about famous big retailers that went belly-up after
abandoning vinyl.

No doubt they were well on their way to go belly-up, anyway.
