Probably starts out at 33 1/3 and goes from there.

78 sounds like it would be awfully hard work.

Maybe. Maybe not.

"Vinyl has seen a resurgence over the past few years, and that trend has continued. Nielsen Soundscan, which uses retail data and excludes albums sold directly by bands, found that 2.8m and 3.9m were sold in America in 2010 and 2011, respectively. It expects sales to rise to 4.7m in 2012. ... Turntable sales, which declined slightly for the last decade, ticked up slightly in 2011 compared to 2010, to 54,000 units a year."
