 ♪♪

00:00:17.217 --> 00:00:20.253
>> REMEMBER THOSE DAYS? WELL,

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.255
SLIDING THE VINYL ON THE SPINDLE

00:00:22.322 --> 00:00:23.923
AND STICKING THE STYLUS DOWN ON

00:00:23.990 --> 00:00:25.458
THE GROOVE IS BACK---IN A BIG

00:00:25.525 --> 00:00:26.760
WAY.

00:00:26.826 --> 00:00:28.528
VINYL RECORD ALBUMS ARE RIDING

00:00:28.595 --> 00:00:30.663
A 14-YEAR STREAK OF INCREASING

00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:31.765
SALES. BUT THERE'S A DRAWBACK

00:00:31.831 --> 00:00:32.899
FOR INDEPENDENT LABELS AND

00:00:32.966 --> 00:00:34.267
MUSICIANS.

00:00:34.334 --> 00:00:38.972
OUR PARTNERS AT THE IBJ ARE

00:00:39.038 --> 00:00:40.140
LOOKING AT THAT MANY OTHER

00:00:40.206 --> 00:00:41.241
ISSUES THIS WEEK AND FOR MORE WE

00:00:41.307 --> 00:00:42.642
ARE PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY

00:00:42.709 --> 00:00:44.844
MANAGING EDITOR GREG WEAVER.

00:00:44.911 --> 00:00:46.346
GREG, I KNOW WE BOTH REMEMBER

00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:47.981
THOSE DAYS, RIGHT?

00:00:48.047 --> 00:00:51.151
>> YES, VERY MUCH SO.

00:00:51.217 --> 00:00:52.986
>> VERY INTERESTING STORY BY

00:00:53.052 --> 00:00:54.154
DAVE LINDQUIST ON THE

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:56.489
POPULARITY, BUILDING A NUMBER OF

00:00:56.556 --> 00:00:57.490
YEARS, OF VINYL.

00:00:57.557 --> 00:01:00.693
AND THE DEMAND CAUSING SOME

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:01.895
SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.

00:01:01.961 --> 00:01:02.962
>> ABSOLUTELY.

00:01:03.029 --> 00:01:04.431
VINYL SALES HAVE NEARLY DOUBLED

00:01:04.497 --> 00:01:05.965
IN THE PAST YEAR.

00:01:06.032 --> 00:01:09.536
40 MILLION IN SALES LAST YEAR.

00:01:09.602 --> 00:01:11.438
AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THERE

00:01:11.504 --> 00:01:13.339
AREN'T ENOUGH FACTORIES TO KEEP

00:01:13.406 --> 00:01:14.908
UP WITH DEMAND.

00:01:14.974 --> 00:01:17.944
AND SO EVEN AT POPULAR RETAILERS

00:01:18.011 --> 00:01:19.846
LIKE KARMA, YOU KNOW, DURING THE

00:01:19.913 --> 00:01:21.881
CHRISTMAS SEASON, THEY WERE NOT

00:01:21.948 --> 00:01:25.218
ABLE TO GET NEW PRESSINGS OF

00:01:25.285 --> 00:01:26.486
POPULAR ALBUMS LIKE MICHAEL

00:01:26.553 --> 00:01:30.590
JACKSON'S THRILLER, OR PRINCE.

00:01:30.657 --> 00:01:34.994
AND THEN THEIR EVEN BIGGER

00:01:35.061 --> 00:01:35.695
PROBLEMS FOR INDEPENDENT LABELS

00:01:35.762 --> 00:01:36.629
IN FRANKLIN.

00:01:36.696 --> 00:01:39.232
THEY'VE HAD TO WAIT MUCH LONGER

00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:41.167
TO GET RECORDS PRESSED.

00:01:41.234 --> 00:01:42.936
SO NORMALLY THEY USED TO HAVE TO

00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:44.871
WAIT MAYBE THREE TO SIX MONTHS.

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:47.140
NOW IT CAN BE UP TO TEN MONTHS

00:01:47.207 --> 00:01:49.742
BEFORE THEY CAN GET A RECORD

00:01:49.809 --> 00:01:50.009
PRESSED.

00:01:50.076 --> 00:01:51.444
>> DEMAND IS A GOOD THING,

00:01:51.511 --> 00:01:53.379
SOMETIMES IT CAUSES PROBLEMS.

00:01:53.446 --> 00:01:54.113
INTERESTING STORY.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:56.549
JOHN RUSSELL IS LOOKING AT

00:01:56.616 --> 00:01:58.418
BUSINESS TRAVELERS, AND HOW THEY

00:01:58.485 --> 00:01:59.519
CAN BE STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND

00:01:59.586 --> 00:02:00.386
A HARD PLACE.

00:02:00.453 --> 00:02:01.955
IF THEY GET COVID ON THE ROAD,

00:02:02.021 --> 00:02:02.155
RIGHT?

00:02:02.222 --> 00:02:02.889
>> YEAH.

00:02:02.956 --> 00:02:04.257
SO, I MEAN, UNLESS IT'S HAPPENED

00:02:04.324 --> 00:02:06.426
TO YOU, YOU DON'T KIND OF

00:02:06.493 --> 00:02:08.328
ANTICIPATE ALL THE THINGS AND

00:02:08.394 --> 00:02:10.430
COMPLICATIONS THAT MIGHT BE

00:02:10.497 --> 00:02:10.663
CAUSED.

00:02:10.730 --> 00:02:12.365
IF YOU GET COVID, YOU MAY HAVE

00:02:12.432 --> 00:02:14.868
TO EXTEND YOUR HOTEL STAY.

00:02:14.934 --> 00:02:16.703
YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO RESCHEDULE

00:02:16.769 --> 00:02:21.608
YOUR FLIGHT, YOU MIGHT MISS SOME

00:02:21.674 --> 00:02:22.075
MEETINGS.

00:02:22.141 --> 00:02:24.244
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR

00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:25.678
HEALTHCARE IN A CITY THAT YOU

00:02:25.745 --> 00:02:27.113
MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH.

00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.215
SO THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THINGS

00:02:29.282 --> 00:02:30.250
THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

00:02:30.316 --> 00:02:31.651
>> THE AGE OF COVID.

00:02:31.718 --> 00:02:33.186
ONE OTHER STORY, WANT TO TALK

00:02:33.253 --> 00:02:33.520
ABOUT.

00:02:33.586 --> 00:02:35.522
THE BUILDING TRADES, CERTAINLY A

00:02:35.588 --> 00:02:37.357
LOT OF DEMAND FOR WORKERS IN

00:02:37.423 --> 00:02:38.291
THAT INDUSTRY.

00:02:38.358 --> 00:02:39.893
BUT THE BUILDING TRADES DEALING

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:44.163
WITH THE PANDEMIC, A LOT OF

00:02:44.230 --> 00:02:44.597
ISSUES THERE.

00:02:44.664 --> 00:02:48.301
>> SCHOOLS PROVIDE HANDS-ON

00:02:48.368 --> 00:02:49.969
TRAINING FOR JOBS LIKE

00:02:50.036 --> 00:02:52.038
CONSTRUCTION, OR AUTO MECHANICS,

00:02:52.105 --> 00:02:54.340
OR CULINARY ARTS, NURSING.

00:02:54.407 --> 00:02:56.743
ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE HAD TO

00:02:56.809 --> 00:02:58.077
REALLY DO A LOT OF NAVIGATING

00:02:58.144 --> 00:03:00.480
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC TO BE ABLE

00:03:00.547 --> 00:03:02.882
TO PROVIDE THE CLINICAL TRAINING

00:03:02.949 --> 00:03:05.285
THAT FOLKS NEED, AND SO THEY'VE

00:03:05.351 --> 00:03:07.453
HAD TO ADJUST FOR EARLY IN THE

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.688
PANDEMIC SOME OF THESE CLINICAL

00:03:08.755 --> 00:03:10.223
SETTINGS WERE CLOSED OFF ALL

00:03:10.290 --> 00:03:12.025
TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

00:03:12.091 --> 00:03:15.862
SO TRAINING WAS DELAYED.

00:03:15.929 --> 00:03:18.031
AND THINGS ARE SOMEWHAT BACK TO

00:03:18.097 --> 00:03:18.765
NORMAL.

00:03:18.831 --> 00:03:20.366
BUT AS THE OMICRON VARIANT

00:03:20.433 --> 00:03:22.468
PERSISTS, YOU KNOW, THERE IS

00:03:22.535 --> 00:03:24.003
STILL KIND OF ON PINS AND

00:03:24.070 --> 00:03:25.605
NEEDLES TO SEE WHAT IMPACT THAT

00:03:25.672 --> 00:03:27.040
MIGHT HAVE ON THEIR TRAINING.

00:03:27.106 --> 00:03:28.441
>> CERTAINLY COMING AT A

00:03:28.508 --> 00:03:30.276
DIFFICULT TIME FOR THOSE

00:03:30.343 --> 00:03:31.110
PROGRAMS.

00:03:31.177 --> 00:03:33.246
GREG WEAVER, MANAGING EDITOR AT

00:03:33.313 --> 00:03:35.715
IBJ, THANKS FOR JOINING US.

00:03:35.782 --> 00:03:36.049
>>

00:03:36.115 --> 00:03:37.116
AND I'LL BE BACK RIGHT BACK
