Discussing Vinyl Trends With What Hi-Fi?
What Hi-Fi? recently asked shop owner Phil some questions about the rising popularity of vinyl with younger shoppers. All signs suggest vinyl is reaching ever-younger audiences.

Housekeeping
A few housekeeping notes in this edition of the blog. Time for some thank yous, farewells and welcomes.
