"A ing to lot of people really like the snap, crackle and pops." Although there isn't a specific genre that sounds better on vinyl, Avino says jazz, classic rock and lndie bands have a tendency to sell more vinyl records. "Indie rock has always had a strong vinyl base," he says. "The major labels are just starting to get into it again." Jason Kulbel, spokesman for Saddle Creek Records, agrees with Avino and states in an e-mail message the whole package is often what appeals to people. "The vinyl package is bigger, that often means better when you are looking at album art," he says. "If you have a nice stereo system, vinyl can sound even better than a CD. Even if it doesn't sound as clean as a CD, vinyl junkies often love the cracks and pops associated with records." As for the durability of vinyl compared to CDs, Avino says it depends on the owner. Compact discs were originally thought to be more resilient than records, but consumers soon discovered tem­ perature changes, wear and age are just some of the many factors that can damage a CD. Although a record can be damaged, they do tend to last longer. . "You set up a record right and it's good forever," Avino says. Rainbow brought back its sale of used vinyl approxi­ mately four years ago, Avino says, and due to costumer demand, started to sell new records last year. "There was an immediate response," he says. "The more I bring in, the more I sell. I just can't keep it in." Senior Rick Buccos says he started buying records a cou­ ple of years ago because of the detailed artwork on the cover. "They're just so cool," Buccos says. "They have the whole package - the artwork, the writing on the inside." Part of the appeal, Avino says, is the warm and comfy feel of a record as well as the detailed album art and special features such as deluxe or gate-fold packaging. 18 September 19. 2006 )!t' New drug for men comes just in time BY ADAM ASHER "Dapoxetine also improved patients' more than just the bedroom.
