Brooklyn -
CD sales continue to plummet. Digital downloads are rapidly climbing. And an old musical format is steadily making a comeback.
Audiophiles in search of that warm, grainy sound are getting into the vinyl groove again.
Last year, 990,000 records were sold – a 15 percent increase from 2006, according to the Nielsen SoundScan.
Brooklynphono, a small mom-and-pop vinyl record manufacturing company in Sunset Park, is profiting from this nostalgic musical resurgence. In 2001, husband-and-wife team Thomas Bernich and Fern Vernon-Bernich established a plant on 42nd Street where they press vinyl for independent artists and New York City-based record labels for $1 a record.
