A "Mail-on-Sunday" newspaper piece about the ex-EMI pressing plant in Hayes said: "You might imagine that in a world where new music is routinely downloaded off the internet - and in 95 per cent of cases, illegally - paying for something as old-fashioned as a record in a cardboard sleeve would be the last thing any groovy kid would want to do. In fact, though, the opposite is true. Owning the vinyl product of your favourite band has become a badge of honour, the ultimate proof of serious fandom. Any old lightweight can nick music online. But to pay for an actual record buys you the thing that matters - and has always mattered - more than anything else in rock: authenticity." http://www.thevinylfactory.com/the-return-of-the-vinyl-how-britain-got-its-groove-back @Declan M: LPs - boxy??
