Every time I read one of these articles and start to get hyped up about generations after mine embracing vinyl, I have to explain to someone (for instance my 20 and 23 year old children) why I have such a vested interest in this, why I am emotionally attached to not just records themselves, but the intangiblethings that come with them.
It is also stymied by the fact that book values fail to take full account of intangible assets things you cannot kick, like brands, patents or partnerships.
