“It totally skipped a generation,” Timothy Wilson says. “There was about a 10-year gap, maybe 15, where everything [vinyl] just kind of stopped. Now, it’s spun back around again.”

Wilson would know. He’s the owner and operator of City Lights Music, a record store on University Avenue in St. Paul that has been a mainstay in the community for 30 years. “We’ve seen the rise and fall of vinyl and the rise and fall of CDs and cassettes,” Wilson says. “And now we’re back to vinyl again, so that’s an awesome experience, and we’re excited.” 

Given there's a whole new generation of vinyl enthusiasts, Wilson shares his advice for taking care of records.
