Hence I find the implication that Vinyl has 'won' rather odd...

You're making the same mistake as the Twisted Sisters - the Vinyl Wars
raged *here* in ukra and the 'win' is the fact that posters can now
occasionally post vinyl topics here without the mile-long 'vinyl
bashing' ****fests which were the norm a year or two (or three?) ago.

I must admit I haven't recalled anything like this which I'd regard as a
'Vinyl War'.


That's because you weren't fighting it.


I also wouldn't call it a 'win' for 'Vinyl' to simply feel
able to post your views.


What would qualify for a win?


Although you might feel it was a personal 'win',



Sure I bloody do - despite all the offlist 'encouragement' I got, there
weren't too many others taking the bashers on at the time....


I
don't see that as being one for 'Vinyl' as such. On that basis you might
just as easily say "CD has won some 'war'" because I and others are happy
to post comments about it here...


???

Your logic escapes me here....

On the above basis Vinyl looks to be only a tiny fraction of CD, and are
falling. Although it looks like Vinyl 45's are doing rather better than
SACD. :-)

Anyone know world or UK values for the above?


I take all these figures with a large pinch of salt - there was an article
in a UK publication recently that claimed a massive (170%?) increase in the
last year's sales of 7 inch singles. Any of these figure could be wrong, the
'increases' in vinyl awareness/usage I refer to are more the new decks and
associated kit that keep coming out. Presumably people buying the stuff have
got something to play on it it?
