Red Cat Records moves to larger home
By Adrian Mack - Georgia Straight

Apparently, more and more people are listening to those round black slabs called “records”. Red Cat Records is moving to new premises later in January to accommodate the growth in business, and to focus on more in-store events.

“In the last few years we’ve seen a dramatic increase in vinyl sales,” co-owner Dave Gowans told the Straight. “We need to make more space, plus lots of local bands are releasing stuff on vinyl, and everyone is reissuing classic titles. It’s almost overwhelming.”

Gowans noted that the music-industry sales-monitoring service Nielsen SoundScan reported that in 2009, vinyl sales were the highest they’ve been since tracking began in 1991.

Red Cat moves to its new location at 4332 Main Street on January 30.
