## Resource

On this episode of Goldmine's Record Shop Talk, editor Patrick Prince (the Gen X record collector) and Luna Record Shop's Holden Russiano (Gen Z record collector) talk about the recent reports on the vinyl format's 19th consecutive year of growth. Put an exclamation mark at the end of this one, listeners: In 2025, U.S. vinyl record sales surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time since 1983! Yet that only takes into account the sales of newly pressed vinyl records, not used vinyl. The hosts debate the possible sales numbers for untracked used vinyl records. Then they discuss grading techniques and Taylor Swift as the definitive vinyl-format savior, among other things. Listen in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
