Music on vinyl is enjoying a renaissance, with digital streaming services generating interest in records once more.
Japan's electronics and entertainment giant Sony is positioning itself to embrace this latest trend in the music industry, with Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. recently announcing it will resume pressing vinyl at Sony DADC Japan Inc., its disc-manufacturing subsidiary in Shizuoka Prefecture, after a 30-year hiatus.
Whether it's because of their grainy, warmer sound or simply because vinyl makes a fashion statement, LPs and EPs are being snapped up.
