With Canadians stuck indoors for most of the past year, it’s not surprising that people have begun to dig out their old record players and dusting off their vinyl to enjoy the classics. A recent report from Global News has found Vinyl sales up to May 6, 2021 are up over 62% compared to the previous year, and that Canada is on pace for vinyl to sell more than CD’s in 2021!
