The document discusses plans by FatBeats Records Group to expand into vinyl record manufacturing with the acquisition of one of North America's largest vinyl pressing plants. This would allow them to keep up with growing demand for vinyl records as sales have increased over 17% annually in recent years. The new facility is planned to begin operations in fall 2013. The document also provides background on the resurgence of vinyl record sales in the US and globally in recent years, despite the continued growth of digital music formats.

Vinyl
album
sales
actually
managed
to
outpace
digital's
sales
growth,
increasing
by
17.7%
to
4.55
million
units.
However,
that
is
still
a
meager
1.44%
of
all
U.S.
album
sales
in
2012.
Billboard
Magazine
1
In
the
U.K,
the
trend
is
even
more
encouraging
for
vinyl,
as
2012
sales
rose
15.3
percent
from
2011
–
this,
at
a
time
when
CD
sales
declined
20
percent,
downloads
rose
15
percent,
and
overall
music
sales
declined
11.2
percent.
Only
389,000
new
units
were
sold
in
Great
Britain:
The
xx,
David

Jack
White,
Adele,
and
Tame

accounting
for
the
top

Vinyl
Strikes
Back!
Worldwide.
According
to
2012
sales
figures,
vinyl
record
album
sales
in
the
United
States
jumped
17.7
percent
to
almost
4.55
million
units.
At
the
same
time,
CD
sales
continued
to
decline,
dropping
13.5
percent
from
2011
to
193.4
million
units.
Digital
downloads
continued
to
grow
at
a
very
healthy
rate
and
now
represent
37.2
percent
of
all
music
album
sales.
Moreover,
download
stores
finally
passed
large
discounters
such
as
Target
and
Walmart
with
sales
of
more
than
111.7
million
units.
2
The
bad
news
for
the
music
industry
is
that
overall
sales
declined
4.4
percent.
But
amidst
all
that
data,
the
resurgence
of
vinyl
looks
impressive;
especially
because
2012
represented
the
fifth
consecutive
year
of
double-‐digit
sales
growth
for
a
format
left
to
die
under
the
metal
feet
of
the
Digital
Empire’s
AT-‐AT.
Yet,
does
that
mean
that
the
renewed
interest
in
vinyl
and
turntables
is
a
rejection
of
MP3s
by
20-‐
somethings,
or
is
this
just
another
annoying
hipster-‐fueled
fad?
Having
dug
into
the
numbers
and
spoken
with
turntable
manufacturers,
we
think
it
is
probably
a
little
bit
of
both.
The
17.7
percent
jump
in
vinyl
record
sales
does
not
include
used
record
sales,
and
it
is
unclear
if
the
math
also
accounts
for
all
online
and
indie
label
offerings.
Vinyl
still
only
accounts
for
1.44
percent
of
new
U.S.
album
sales
overall,
and
the
top
selling
album,
Jack
White’s
“Blunderbuss,”
moved
a
paltry
34,000
units.
The
second
best
selling
LP?
The

Road”.

Last
year,
2.8
million
vinyl
records
were
sold
in
the
United
States,
according
to
Nielsen
Soundscan,
and
sale
as
this
year
could
be
40%
higher.
But
Soundscan
uses
bar
codes
to
track
sales;
and,
“the
majority
of
the
stuff
we
press,
it
doesn’t
even
have
a
bar
code,”
according
to
Slusarz.
Add
that
to
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
vinyl
records
are
sold
at
independent
record
stores,
gigs
and
on
niche
web
sites
and
it’s
not
hard
to
see
that
the
vast
majority
of
vinyl
sales
goes
unreported.
If
Slusarz
15%
estimate
is
even
close
to
accurate,
vinyl
sales
could
top
20
million
this

Back,
To
The
Future
There
is
also
a
lot
of
vinyl
support
in
such
musical
genres
as
hip-‐hop,
punk,
and
heavy
metal.
"Indie"
music
is
now
being
pressed
into
colored
vinyl,
limited
edition
releases,
and
picture
discs.
These
are
the
future
collectibles
and
sometimes
sell
for
higher-‐than-‐average
prices.
The
online
community
has
responded
as
well
with
literally
thousands
of
web
sites
dedicated
to
the
vinyl
format.
Many
music
artists
are
making
sure
that
they
give
their
fans
a
choice
of
music
formats,
with
vinyl
appearing
to
be
taking
the
lead.
Then
there
is
the
actual
physical
aspect
of
going
out
to
your
local
record
store
and
buying
a
record.
Browsing
through
bins
of
used
vinyl,
anticipating
the
new
releases
and
rushing
to
the
store
to
get
that
new
record
from
your
favorite
band
is
exciting
and
pleasurable.
The
downloading
generation
has
discovered
the
tangible
benefits
of
vinyl
and
records
sales
are
soaring
across
the
country.
Yes
independent
record
stores
have
been
closing
at
an
alarming
rate,
but
the
shops
that
do
stay
open
are
flourishing.
Paul
Russe,
the
manager
of
Off
The
Record,
an
independent
record
store
in
San
Diego,
is
encouraged
by
the
future
of
the
independent
record
store.
Buying
and
selling
records
is
big
business.
Besides
the
garage
sales,
flea
markets
and
yard
sales,
online
auction
sites
such
as
eBay
sell
millions
of
records.
It
is
reported
that
eBay
users
buy
and
sell
six
vinyl
records
each
minute
(or
an
average
of
one
every
ten
seconds)
totaling
more
than
three
million
records
each
year.
Some
records
still
maintain
their
value
decades
after
their
initial
release
and
have
sold
for
thousands
of
dollars.
It's
been
reported
that
the
album
that
is
bought
and
sold
the
most
in
the
vinyl
format
is
the
Beatles'
"White
Album."
Other
acts
such
as
Elvis
Presley,
the
Rolling
Stones,
Pink
Floyd,
Bob
Dylan,
Madonna,
Led
Zeppelin,
among
many
others,
are
highly
sought
after
and
still
command
top
dollar
for
specific
releases.
Soul
and
jazz
music,
along
with
classic
rock,
are
always
in
demand.
Additionally,
online
giant
Amazon
is
committed
to
expanding
their
'vinyl
section'
offerings
to
include
thousands
of
music
artists.
Major
electronics
chain
Best
Buy
has
also
begun
selling
vinyl
records,
making
this
decision
after
conducting
a
test
in
100
of
their
stores
and
discovering
that
vinyl
records
were
more
popular
than
they
anticipated.
"I
think
there
will
always
be
record
stores,"
Russe
stated.
"Otherwise,
it's
like
saying
there
won't
be
any
bookstores
because
everything
in
print
will
be
a
digital
download.
Digital
is
just
a
convenience.
And
anyone
who
loves
music
will
always
gravitate
toward
record
stores."
"I've
always
marveled
at
every
new
generation
of
15-‐year-‐old
boys
who
go
to
the
Doors

and

"Major

Will
vinyl
records
regain
their
dominant
position
in
the
music
industry
that
they
once
held?
One
can

with
