They'll be shutting their doors, way before any Oil Crisis. The real
crisis for Vinyl is consumers
and lack of them. That will be the end of vinyl WAY before any oil
problems.

I love dj'ing from vinyl, but these days it doesn't really matter to me
what format the music comes in. These days it's cheaper and more fun to
make music yourself. However, it'll be a sad day when NSC or Dubplates
& Mastering has to shut its doors due to an oil crisis.

This record is made from such alternative:

I cannot remember the name of the material but it wears lot faster
