I can also move between songs quickly and easily depending on my mood and create playlists for different occasions or activities. My collection can’t be damaged, it doesn’t take up any physical space and it doesn’t collect dust. I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want, on whichever device I like.

No, I’ll take the eminently portable and convenient digital option any day. Having a showy collection of vinyl – that owners have to pull out and parade in front of uninterested guests stifling yawns – is a display of pretentiousness that turns me right off. I’ve met more than my share of ‘musos’ who think they’re somehow superior because of their taste in music. What I’m not sure about is whether this trend is really about quality or whether there is a touch of snobbery about the retro attraction of vinyl. I understand that preference for the substantial – of owning something material rather than virtual. Perhaps it’s the experience of vinyl that’s the clincher? The same way I like to hold a physical copy of a book and turn actual pages rather than read an electronic version. It could be that these artists are appealing to an older demographic who are more comfortable with a tactile format. Apparently, it’s not only fans of Abba who love LPs the trend is also being driven by sales of Adele and Ed Sheeran. I do wonder about the cultural significance of the revival of vinyl, though.
