Vinyl wheezing to life

And wheezing is about all vinyl will be able to continue to do. The sad fact is that production capacity of very old machines is at max and they are barely keeping the machines running -- parts are hard to find. Now top that off with two more realities: first, no one is building any new machines; and second, LP production is immensely dependent on experienced craftsmen. These guys are getting old, many have retired or died, and there isn't much talent in the pipeline.

Finally, a lot of production capacity is being sucked up by major labels hogging facilities for the 200th reissue of some aged rock band's greatest hits from the 70s. That makes it tough for new artists to ge things pressed, especially on a timely basis.
