Thanks.

Out of curiosity, where do those figures come from?

@Azas You will probably like this. I take my hat off to these guys. The world would be a better place if more millionaires were like them!

Nice interview, thanks for sharing it!

If I am not mistaken, there are also not that many vinyl pressing plants, which contributes to the increase in price.

I am as puzzled as you are!

On a related note, does anyone know why vinyl albums are so extortionately expensive these days? I was at HMV last Saturday, saw Live After Death and was tempted to get it until I saw the price was £49.99!! I came out of the shop with a couple of CDs for £16 instead.

I did not know where to post this. Really sad news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz0np02znezo

I know. It also landed at #1 on the chart for releases including a replica 24 page World Slavery Tour programme. ;)

That is not the official albums chart, just a subsection of it. You can find the top 100 here: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/20251205/7502/ It got to #10 on the album sales chart and the physical album sales chart, and #5 on the vinyl albums chart...
