You’ve probably heard that while CD sales have taken a nosedive, vinyl record sales have been on the upswing since 2004. Now major retailer Best Buy is following Circuit City’s lead by launching a program to stock some vinyl in its stores.
Radiohead and Coldplay will hop aboard the vinyl train with reissues from Capitol/EMI on August 19. The vinyl reissues of Radiohead's OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief and Coldplay's Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head are part of a series the label is launching called "From the Capitol Vaults".
Like all of the titles in the series, these reissues come remastered on high quality vinyl, and they feature artwork and packaging replicating that of their original editions. Vinyl reissues of Radiohead's first two albums-- Pablo Honey and The Bends-- are expected to follow.
