Sales of vinyl albums are booming, and these Utah record stores know why.

Carson Williams owns all nine colored-vinyl editions of Taylor Swift’s “Folklore.”
Williams — who got his first record player in 2019, when he was also gifted his first record, Swift’s “Fearless” — said he started seriously collecting vinyl in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was just the perfect opportunity to be able to sit and listen to a record,” said Williams, 23, an elementary school teacher who lives in Murray.
He is one of many Gen Z (people under 25) consumers driving the ongoing boom in vinyl records — a vintage medium whose history goes back nearly three-quarters of a century.
Though streaming accounted for more than 80% of music revenue mid-year through 2021, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, vinyl sales were at their highest level in nearly 30 years. And a report last year from MRC data found that more Gen Z people are buying records than millennials (people between 25 and 40).
Williams said he uses streaming platforms, but there’s something “eclectic” about listening to his favorite artists on vinyl. After a long day, he said, he often prefers to put on a record and let the sound fill the room, rather than streaming something into his headphones.
“It’s just kind of unmatched in any other way of even listening to it,” he said.
‘A feeding frenzy’
As the boom continues, indie record stores in Utah are seeing their own versions of resurgence.
“I’ve never seen a feeding frenzy like this,” said Dustin Hansen, owner of Graywhale Entertainment, an independently owned-and-operated record store with locations in Taylorsville and Ogden.
Interest in vinyl has grown steadily over the last 10 years, Hansen said — and much of that is because of younger buyers.
“These young people have jobs, they work,” Hansen said. “When you live at home and you’re 19 years old and you have money and a car, you can go buy records.”
Young buyers, he added, will realize in 10 years that their fledgling collections will be “invaluable” and an “investment”
Hansen said he’s in awe of the young vinyl buyers. “Young people listen to music so unironically now,” he said. “They don’t care what you think about the music, they just want to listen to it.”
While the younger listeners are buying vinyl more, Hansen said, so are the “people that were collectors back in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s.” Stores that play to that older group, and ignore the genre tastes of younger buyers — such as pop, hip hop, punk rock — are “alienating” a large customer base, he said.
Collecting vinyl records is no longer a hobby solely for rock aficionados. Even current mainstream artists like Adele are capitalizing on it, but not without cost. High demand of the medium is not being met by nearly an equal amount of supply.
“We’re facing right now — with this group being so invigorating to the industry — a supply issue that we have never seen before,” Hansen said. “Demand is not the problem, supply is the issue.”
More demand than supply

Spencer Colby, owner of Provo’s Vintage Groove, which he is transforming from a thrift store into a record store, has seen the frustrations of vinyl pressing and shipping during the current boom.
“CD’s really killed vinyl. In 2000 to 2010, there were a lot of pressing plants that just closed. And then you have this big boom come back, and it’s a huge upfront expense to set up a processing plant,” Colby said.
Recorded music goes back to Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph in 1877. Discs — 78-rpm shellac recordings — replaced Edison’s wax cylinders. The long-playing black vinyl album, or LP (the slang term was “licorice pizza”), was first introduced by Columbia Records in 1948, and was the dominant physical medium for music for decades, eventually supplanted by CDs.
According to the British magazine The New Statesman, there are only 100 record pressing plants in the world, and only 10 of those have the capability to press a large amount of records.
Colby focuses specifically on a demographic of pop music fans, buying albums from such acts as One Direction, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande in bulk (300 to 500 copies) — when he’s able to. Those vinyl records were typically pressed every four to six months, pre-pandemic, he said — but now it takes more than a year to get pressings of albums that were released years ago, like One Direction’s “Four” and Swift’s “Reputation.”
“It comes in stock, everybody sells out, boom — and then there’s just not enough supply to meet demand, prices climb and then they’ll press it again,” he said.

With the rise in popularity of special-edition, colored vinyls — like Williams’ collection of “Folklore” albums — from both artists and fans alike, that process gets even more drawn out. Pressing plants have to stop and clean up the press for every single color before restarting.
Dwindling supply leads to distribution issues for indie stores like Colby’s. He launched his store’s website in November 2020, and started selling through Instagram while taking payments through Venmo. He’s faced fan backlash in fandom spaces like Tik Tok, because of the pricing of the records he sells, but Colby says the decision isn’t that simple and he looks “more at market value than retail price.”
Larger retailers like Walmart, Target and Amazon get more supply than indie stores do, Colby said — and Amazon has a preorder system that’s difficult for him to compete with. Even with certain records on a preorder system, there’s no guarantee that you will get them at the originally projected time.
“I can’t compete with these big places,” Colby said. “In some ways, they sell some of their records for what I have to almost pay[to get them] from the distributor.”

Colby also said he’s often the “only seller” of the records he orders, so he matches his pricing with supply and orders accordingly. Along with that comes shipping, which, for most Amazon customers, is speedy and free.
There’s no “quick and easy fix” for the problem with supply, or the rise in demand, Colby said — but he’s been happy to be a part of this boom. It’s allowed him to market solely to a young demographic of customers that he says aren’t traditionally catered to by record stores, and it’s introduced him to music that he didn’t listen to before.
‘They want to hold the album’
Samuel Stinson, operations manager for Randy’s Records (and son of the store’s namesake, Randy Stinson), can list several reasons why customers have seen delays in getting the vinyl they want.
“The hottest new releases that the record labels probably don’t anticipate [getting] as popular they are, sell out quickly and don’t get repressed for three to six months,” he explains. “[If] Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” or a Kanye West record sold [out], we could typically just reorder it, and it was just always in stock.”
Stinson also saw a major staff turnover in his store early in the pandemic — and for indie stores, employees are crucial because they bring their own niche of musical interest.
Engaging new audiences along with dedicated clientele has made for good business throughout the pandemic, Stinson said. “You see people passionate about music and collecting records, collecting all different genres of records and not just the same old stuff over and over,” he said. “People are interested in a lot of different genres of music that maybe they hadn’t been previously.”
At Randy’s — where nearly 50% of respondents to a Twitter poll said they buy their records in Utah — he’s seen a “renewed interest” in jazz music. Stinson says that this support from patrons is crucial.
“The main reason to support a record store like Randy’s is that some of the actual long-standing vinyl dealers abandoned it. And some of these record stores are the only reason that vinyl was kept alive,” he said.
The appeal of vinyl, Colby at Vintage Groove said, is that it fulfills a need to hold something tangible — something many people need after two years of a pandemic.
“[With] a lot of everything being so digitized, you kind of lose touch,” Colby said. “So a lot of people want to touch that, they want to hold the album. The vinyl records themselves are very analog, the music’s pressed into the vinyl. It’s not abstract in the cloud.”

Holy cow, defense without Rudy!","type":"header","content":"That’s probably the best defensive performance I’ve seen this iteration of the Jazz have with Rudy Gobert off the floor. ","type":"text","content":"On-ball on the perimeter, they competed. Trent Forrest was the standout defender here, but Mike Conley played his heart out, and Donovan Mitchell really used all of his effort, too. This is good pursuit!","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"Off-ball, they really rotated, helped each other when necessary, and recovered at the rim. This is a great example: Hassan Whiteside has to guard Steph Curry to prevent the shot, allowing a free path to the rim for Juan Toscano-Anderson. But Jordan Clarkson rotates fast enough to make Toscano dribble once, and Whiteside gets all the way down to the paint to get the block. ","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"It’s multiple defensive efforts, which we don’t always see from Whiteside... but we certainly did tonight. The Jazz had a 69 defensive rating with Whiteside on the floor tonight, an insanely good performance.","type":"text","content":"Udoka Azubuike could do the same thing. He’s up in pick and roll here too, but cuts off the pocket pass, gets in front of Looney, and forces the miss. Furthermore, I love how many Jazz players are down low for the rebound — and I love that ‘Dok fights for it and gets it.","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"This is a truly terrific closeout from Eric Paschall: takes away the airspace, forces Wiggins to drive, stays with him throughout — and then Whiteside’s in position to get the final contest.","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"It was a high-effort performance, but just as importantly, it was a high-cohesion performance. The Jazz were aggressive in defending, leaving open spots — but then they helped each other out on the back end. ","type":"text","content":"This is an extremely good sign. Remember the last time Rudy Gobert missed action at the beginning of January due to COVID, and the team was a tire fire defensively — and Gobert noted it in his first press conference back? Now, he’s slated to come back in the next couple of games, and he’ll be much, much happier. If they can replicate this performance night in and night out, and especially against teams with more shooters in the lineup, they’ll set themselves up well for the playoffs.","type":"text","content":"2. Talking Trent","type":"header","content":"Forrest has just been incredibly good recently. ","type":"text","content":"At the beginning of the season, Forrest minutes were a distinct liability, only created to give Mike Conley more of a rest. Now, though? He’s a legitimate asset. ","type":"text","content":"I mean, look how silly Forrest makes Jordan Poole look on this play. Forrest is zero threat to pull up, Poole knows it and backs way off... and still just gets utterly beaten.","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"The Jazz have shifted a great number of possessions from the bench from Jordan Clarkson plays to Forrest plays, and he’s making it look like a brilliant decision. Like, this late shot clock attempt is always going to Clarkson a month ago... now, Forrest is getting it, and executing. Puts his defender in jail, finds his big man for the easy finish. It’s so good.","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"And then he’s has ratcheted up the defense, being the Jazz’s best defender on Curry tonight.","type":"text","type":"oembed_response","content":"This is an incredible turnaround. There were stretches this season where Forrest was legitimately killing the Jazz — a -11 stretch against the Celtics in 3 minutes stands out. But his ability to be this aggressive and this much of a scorer, this much of an impact defender, suggests that maybe, the Jazz should find some minutes for the guy, at least when he’s playing this well.","type":"text","content":"I’m still a little skeptical of Forrest in the playoffs, just because he still can’t shoot. In the playoffs, his minutes will be next to better players for more of the game, and it may just make sense to put spacing around Mitchell and Bogdanovic and Gobert and so on. But this has already been a heck of a career for an undrafted player, and it’s clearly going to continue.","type":"text","content":"3. What Donovan and Quin said about the trade","type":"header","content":"Hey, there was a Jazz trade today! Here’s the main trade story. And here’s my early thoughts on the deal in the Tribune trade deadline live blog. I do plan on doing a more fully-fleshed writeup and analysis of the full deadline moves on Friday, once we’re able to see the full picture, talk to the front office, and have the time to watch more video.","type":"text","content":"In this space, I just want to zoom in on Mitchell and Snyder’s reactions to the deal. Both, of course, spent most of the time talking about Joe Ingles’ Jazz tenure, and what he meant to them personally and professionally. Ingles’ departure, even if only contractual, still feels like the end of an era for those guys — it was emotional.","type":"text","content":"But I thought their descriptions of Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s game was interesting:","type":"text","content":"“His length and his ability to make a shot, there’s a skill-set there, he has some tools,” Snyder said. “If he can come in and have an impact defensively, that’s something that we’re constantly telling our whole team. He does have the length and the size to be a really committed defender.”","type":"text","content":"Meanwhile, Mitchell said: “He’s a guy that can really go get it on offense, a good defender, and can definitely get better. He’s young, so there’s time to grow and time to learn.”","type":"text","content":"That’s relatively generic praise, but the thing that did stand out to me was that both men complemented what they think NAW can be defensively. He shows spurts of that sometimes, but truly wasn’t impactful for New Orleans on that end of the floor. Snyder didn’t really mention NAW’s drive game, but instead his ability to shoot, so maybe that hints at as a complementary offensive role. ","type":"text","content":"Alexander-Walker did come to the Jazz’s bench in the middle of the game, and all internal word is that they expect him to be a piece of the Jazz’s rotation right away; he’s expected to play on Friday against Orlando. We’ll see how consistently he gets minutes, with how good Forrest has been, and what happens tomorrow. He’ll need to improve his offensive game, but if he can, he could be a good young addition — albeit probably not the defensive upgrade many Jazz fans envisioned.","type":"text"],"credits":"by":[],"display_date":"2022-02-10T07:25:14.570Z","headlines":"basic":"The Triple Team: The Jazz’s defense, even without Rudy Gobert, shines in blowout win against the Warriors","last_updated_date":"2022-02-10T07:25:15.211Z","promo_items":"basic": The Salt Lake Tribune) Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022.r","url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/sltrib/DAG6AW4WJVDJJNVPG3OJQWSV7I.JPG","publish_date":"2022-02-10T07:25:14.570Z","subheadlines":"basic":"","taxonomy":"primary_section":"_id":"/sports/jazz","name":"Utah Jazz","parent_id":"/sports","path":"/sports/jazz","sites":["name":"Utah Jazz","path":"/sports/jazz","name":"Sports","path":"/sports"],"tags":["description":"sports features","slug":"sports-featured","text":"Sports Featured"],"website_url":"/sports/jazz/2022/02/10/triple-team-jazzs-defense","_id":"RJE64ARHS5CRFHQY26WIXJELBY","canonical_url":"/sports/jazz/2022/02/09/bogdanovic-has-points","content_elements":["content":"Bojan Bogdanovic scored 23 points and Donovan Mitchell had 14 points with 10 rebounds to power the Utah Jazz past Golden State 111-85 on Wednesday night at Vivint Arena and snap the Warriors’ nine-game winning streak.","type":"text","content":"Hassan Whiteside had nine points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks as the Jazz nearly held the Warriors to their lowest shooting percentage this season until a garbage-time hot streak helped them finish at 36%.","type":"text","content":"Mitchell tallied eight assists in a bid to mark Utah’s first triple-double since Carlos Boozer did it 14 years ago.","type":"text","content":"The Jazz are still without Rudy Gobert, who has missed eight games with a calf strain.

Together, his winning long and short program came within three points of setting the world record for combined score, which Chen already holds, and reduced his trials at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, where he entered as a favorite but wound up fifth due to an uncharacteristically sloppy short program, to a footnote.","type":"text","content":"Chen’s triumph came on a day when Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, the gold medalist in 2014 and ‘18, sought some rare air and redemption of his own. Hanyu attempted to lay down the sport’s first quadruple axel, opening the door to a new era in skating. The jump, worth 15 points, had the potential to pull Hanyu onto the podium two days after he finished eighth in the short program. During that event, he reduced his opening quad Salchow to a single and later said he’d gotten stuck in a hole in the ice.","type":"text","content":"“Right at takeoff for the Salchow, on the curve, there was a hole,” he said in his post-event interview Tuesday. “It wasn’t even a jump, really. My form was good, my rhythm felt right and I think you saw that in my other jumps.”","type":"text","content":"Despite two falls Thursday, one on the quad axel and again on his quad Salchow, Hanyu led until the scores of defending silver medalist Shoma Uno, also of Japan, flashed on the big screen overlooking the rink. Hanyu finished in fourth overall.","type":"text","content":"Yuma Kagiyama of Japan earned the silver and Uno took the bronze.","type":"text","content":"But even if Hanyu was at his best, Chen’s performances both days would have taken meteoric efforts to beat.","type":"text","type":"image","content":"In the free skate, Chen flew through five quadruple jumps — one shy of the record six he set during his free skate in 2018 (though he only landed five of those cleanly). Shortly after the words “Greatest of all time” poured over the rink during a rap segment of “Benny and the Jets,” Chen looked joyously to the rafters, a grin spread over his face.","type":"text","content":"“The Olympics are why I do what I do,” he told The Salt Lake Tribune in January. “Why I train every single day. Why I spend so much of my life trying to improve. It’s for these opportunities, the Olympics.”","type":"text","content":"Uno entered the free skate in third place, eight points behind Chen, also performed a five-quad program. He slipped on one. Kagiyama also slipped during his free skate, which included three quads.","type":"text","content":"Jason Brown placed sixth. He was the only other American competing after Vincent Zhou tested positive for COVID-19 the day before the men’s singles event began.","type":"text","content":"Born to Chinese immigrants, Chen had been looking forward to these Olympics since they were announced.

And she knew it, of course.","type":"text","content":"The Western Conference matchup at Vivint Arena marked ESPN’s “first NBA game on a national scale led by all women, both on camera and in pivotal roles behind the scenes,” as the network described it in a news release. Mowins handled the play-by-play, Burke was the analyst, and Salters the sideline reporter, while 33 other women performed various production roles on-site in Salt Lake City and in the control room back in Bristol, Conn.","type":"text","content":"The thing is, for those three women who were lending their faces and voices and years of expertise to the broadcast, it was a delicate balancing act of acknowledging the singular nature of the event, while also trying not to make too big a deal of what technically amounts to professionals simply doing their jobs, they all acknowledged in the lead-up.","type":"text","content":"“This is what we do every day.

Burke won the Curt Gowdy Media Award in 2018, and became the first woman to serve as a game analyst for the NBA Finals in 2020 when she joined the ESPN Radio team. Mowins, who has been with ESPN since 1994 and made her NBA play-by-play debut with the network earlier this season, made history in 2017 when she became the first woman in 30 years to call an NFL game during ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”","type":"text","content":"“What I like the most is that we’ve all been doing this — no one was elevated to do anything they don’t already do,” Salters pointed out. “We’ve been doing this forever, and we just now get to do it all together.”","type":"text","content":"Whose brainchild it was, none of them knows. They didn’t ask for it, didn’t suggest it, didn’t pitch it.","type":"text","content":"The “why” of it, on the other hand, is pretty easy to understand.","type":"text","content":"Those same people who complain about women in sports media somehow never seem to realize that there aren’t actually very many women in sports media.","type":"text","content":"“One of the most exciting parts of this for me is there’s a group of women who will never be seen tonight in various roles: tape, graphics, audio, operations … I guarantee you each and every one of them — just like the three of us — have been in a position at some point where the only person in the room who was of your gender was yourself,” Burke said. “So now it’s unique that this entire broadcast is basically filled with women. And so maybe for the first time in their career ever, they can feel like they’re not the minority. Representation matters, no matter what.”","type":"text","content":"That’s why this broadcast, done this specific way, mattered.","type":"text","content":"Why not make a point of women doing this job, and doing it well?","type":"text","content":"It was certainly on Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell’s mind — both when the achievement was mentioned in the arena and shown on the jumbotron, and also in his postgame media session.","type":"text","content":"“That’s just a special moment. It’s been too long — I said that to Doris and to Lisa. It’s special. I’m definitely honored to be a part of the game, and to be part of that story,” he said. “Women in our world are typically given a backseat for no apparent reason, in my opinion. They have a harder climb — in sports, in business. When you look at tonight, this shouldn’t be just a one-off.”","type":"text","content":"Salters likened the event to an NFL game she covered last year where the league “assembled the first all-African American officiating crew.” She noted the juxtaposition of their responses to her questions about the occasion then (”This is what we do. But it is cool.”), and her reaction, as a Black woman, to them.","type":"text","content":"”I was taking pictures and had them all get together so I could be in a picture with them, and I tweeted it out — and I never really tweet anything. But it was so cool for me to see, and I was so proud for them,” Salters said. “I’m sure that it’s going to be that way for so many other people tonight when we walk into the gym, for so many other people to see us. We don’t feel like we’re cool, but little girls and other women, other people are going to look at us and think, ‘That’s really cool.’”","type":"text","content":"Mowins added that the three of them getting to be the faces of a very public and historic moment is meaningful.","type":"text","content":"“It accentuates the influence that we can have on other people,” she said. “It’s fun working with these guys, but it’s really the reaction that you get from other people that may send you a text, or you look up in the crowd and there’s a mom and dad at the game, and their little daughter, and they’re pointing down at you. That is what brings us joy about this, other than we get to work together and do something that we love to do.”","type":"text","content":"All three said they were trying to keep their focus on the game, on Donovan Mitchell vs. Steph Curry, and then afterwards, maybe they’d all assemble at their hotel and talk about the significance of what they just did.","type":"text","content":"To some degree, after all, as Mowins said, it was just a basketball game, and just three people talking about a basketball game.","type":"text","content":"“We’re just like all the men and women that are watching at home that love the game, and we just happened to pick this as our profession so we could get a courtside seat and a microphone,” she said. “And now we get a chance to do something we love, and to do it with people that have been around sports and around ESPN and ABC for a long time, and it’s pretty cool.”","type":"text","content":"As much as they tried to take themselves out of the equation, though, they knew that the significance of it simply couldn’t be ignored.","type":"text","content":"“Knowing that this team has been assembled, we understand what the reason is,” Salters said. “And I think the response that we’ve been getting from other people just kind of underscores the celebration of what can happen when you give women opportunities.”","type":"text"],"credits":"by":["_id":"ewalden","image":"url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/arc-authors/sltrib/6b6635c9-7663-4e21-9543-610520f2d311.png","name":"Eric Walden"],"display_date":"2022-02-10T01:14:10.693Z","headlines":"basic":"ESPN’s historic broadcast of Jazz vs. Warriors meant something simple to the women involved: ‘Representation matters’","last_updated_date":"2022-02-10T07:36:18.382Z","promo_items":"basic": The Salt Lake Tribune) Doris Burke, left, and Beth Mowins call the game between the Utah Jazz and the Golden State Warriors at Vivint Arena, on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022.
