Vinylify: Create Real Vinyl Records From Personalized Playlists, “Vinylify allows users to create their own personal track lists made up of songs from the service’s own catalog or uploaded tracks, then a record with that track list will be pressed and sent out to the customer.

El Paso record stores see increasing sales of LPs: “‘In 2000, the store had what they called ‘a goodbye to vinyl sale’ because manufacturers were no longer shipping vinyl but CDs, Reynoso said. ‘Then around 2005 or 2007, we heard it was coming back. We were having to go back into the closet to bring out more records. Finally in 2010, we decided to get it out on the floor.'”
