The one thing that surprises me in those numbers is the decline in new vinyl sales compared to 1999. It seems to contradict my (admittedly anecdotal) perception of more new vinyl available and more people browsing it when I go to my favorite new vinyl store than there were 6 years ago (not to mention the proliferation of new turntables and vinyl accessories and pro-vinyl chatter in audiophile circles).I wonder if maybe that number really reflects an increase in DJ's using CD's and downloads. The DJ market is what kept the vinyl-pressing plants in operation during the lean years of the 90's, but now there are digital "turntables", etc. available. It would be interesting to see if the percentage decline still held up if you could separate sales of music lover/audiophile vinyl from DJ/dance vinyl.
