I'll bet for every album listener there is 10,000
listening to some other format.
If by album you mean LP, then you have to come up with a number that
relates
to the fact that about 1% of all sales of recordings is for LPs. 1 in
10,000 is IMO far too few. Besdies, there are people who listen to LPs who
don't buy new LPs.
I'll bet for every album listener there are more like 50 listening
exclusively to other formats. That would be a more reasonable guess.
Ya think? Seems unlikely to me. Where do you get your 1%? And 1%
equals 1 in a 100, not 1 in 50. And assumes an equal distribution of
sales. And I'm betting that the lp listeners don't fit that profile.
There are no "new" lps.
Of course there are! Just look on Amazon or in the larger record stores (if
there are any left in your locality). There's plenty of new vinyl being
offered for sale. There's also a significant reissue market of classic LPs
being remastered and recut on 180gm vinyl. Now, why anyone would want to pay
significantly more for the vinyl than for the same album on CD is beyond me,
but having heard some abortions that pass for remastered CDs recently,
perhaps the vinyl *is* better.
