The younger vinyl fans falling in love with their records

Chris Hawes, founder of Atlas Records near Taunton, said he believed the age demographic for record fans was getting younger.

He said: “I’m 29. Everyone that works for the business is under 32, and there’s nine of us.”

He said the current best-selling records were those which had always been popular.

“The one exception to that is when a modern song takes things to new heights – Kate Bush is an example,” he said.

“When her track was in Stranger Things on Netflix, we saw that sell out overnight.”

The most valuable recent sale was a 13-record set by David Bowie, Five Years 1969-1973. Although it was only released in 2015, it fetched more than £3,000.
