Sony has been forced to open a new plant to press vinyl discs in Japan, because global production capacity cannot cope with the number of records being sold. The Japanese company is reviving a business it gave up in the 1990's. Baby boomers enjoying nostalgia and a new generation of music lovers are behind the rising sales of vinyl records, as Ian Shirley, from Record Collector Magazine, tells the 麻豆社's Russell Padmore.
