One of the world’s biggest record labels is going retro.
Sony Music Entertainment said this week it will begin pressing vinyl records again, ending an almost three-decade hiatus.
A dramatic increase in demand for vinyl music in recent years prompted the move, a Sony spokeswoman said. Interest is coming from younger customers who have never used records before as well as older fans, she added.
Sony whose artists include Adele, Beyoncé and Daft Punk — ended production of vinyl in 1989 after CDs cornered the market.
