What has spurred the renewed interest in record shelves? Long play records were introduced successfully in the marketplace by Columbia Records in 1948. For a long time, almost forty years, LP records were the primary carrier for the distribution of popular music. Anyone born before the 1990s remembers them fondly. But that is just the beginning of the story...

For two decades now, the LP records have been displaced by CDs, and more lately MP3 formats and MP3 players. So what has spurred the renewed interest in LPs and record storage?

But the biggest difference between the LP and the CD or the MP3 is the sound itself. Although most people feel CD sound is superior, many sense that the LPs have a softer feel to it, and more natural. Considering how human perception differs from person to person, you might definitely prefer the sound of the music coming from a LP.

One of the reasons why noone wants to get rid of old LPs is their sentimental value. There is nothing like seeing the actual turntable needle track the groves on the black vinyl record. There is nothing like seeing the flashing lights of the stroboscope making sure that the spinning frequency is just right.
