There has been constant discussion in our offices lately as to if the cassette tape is going to make a grand reemergence into record stores. Yes, you read that correctly, we are seriously considering that the medium that was severely overshadowed by the compact disc, will become a go-to for music collectors and niche markets alike. Just like the cassette, we were having this same discussion about vinyl records a few years back now. Not in our wildest dreams did we imagine that almost every single future release would be on both a vinyl record, and a compact disc. With the multitude of growing trends in Toronto, it’s hard to see right from the get-go what will stick and what wont. Vinyl records have stuck, and local stores Sonic Boom and Rotate This have flourished accordingly. Record Store Day is going on year seven now, and from personal experience attending these events; the attendance has been growing exponentially year after year. The concept is simple: record labels release exclusive, very limited vinyl records on one day only at select record stores around the world. The demand has grown so high, that collectors have been know to purchase and then promptly re-sell the records at a much higher price.
