VINYL Jack Black calls for new plants as backlog grows
NME
The 0.5m copies of Adele’s latest album pressed on LP highlight how the big 3 are hogging and clogging the global supply - just as often with reprints of back catalogue albums like David Bowie l, the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac.
So now White Stripes icon Jack Black, who runs his own label and record plant, has called on the big 3 to build new pressing plants.
Last year saw vinyl sales hit their highest since the 1990s, having seen huge growth for the 13th year in a row. Figures revealed that nearly one in five (18 per cent) of all albums purchased across 2020 were vinyl, with 4.8 million LPs being purchased. The new numbers are 10 per cent up on 2019’s figures.
