I couldn't understand the vinyl revival. LPs offer worse sound quality in a less convenient format than CDs and downloads unless you spend serious money on a table/arm/cart and get lucky with a clean, good pressing. (My Rega P3/Goldring 1024 is certainly not better than CD - almost equal on a good day). While there may be a niche for small artists (and good luck to them) I think it's mostly been about duping folks with a mix of nostalgia for the oldies and "coolness" for the younger crowd.
I agree with Tony about the depressing economics of music streaming (from the POV of musicians) but selling over-priced LPs is not a great answer.
