The more things change, the more they stay the same. Take the glorious deep sound of crackling vinyl. According to Taz’s Robert Lawrence, it’s the younger crowd of 16- to 25-year-olds that are buying the music of their parents. Mom and dad rocked to The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd. Taz can’t keep copies of Dark Side of the Moon around in their inventory of over 25,000 records.
