Yup! So far this year, vinyl sales are up something like 40% over the same period in 2013.
I'm in my mid-30s, and grew up listening exclusively to CDs. But now, for me, it's all vinyl, which conveniently come with an included digital download. Here in New York, record stores are everywhere, but it's at times hard to track down an actual CD.

My advice to vinyl collectors such as myself is SNATCH IT UP once it's released. I have a gut feeling that the vinyl version will be a limited pressing. You can't even go on Amazon or eBay these days without "Crystal Visions" commanding $250 brand new or $130 used.
That's cray!

SO cray. With some pluck and luck, I finally was able to snag a new copy on vinyl for $70. I gotta say, it's pretty awesome to hear Sorcerer and POTU on vinyl, with a real sound system. Which makes me SO excited that 24K is being released on vinyl. I entirely agree that it will be double LP, high-quality pressing. Now if only we can get a confirmed track list!
