According to people who track such things, global sales of vinyl has increased for 19 straight years. That’s not a fad. That’s a wholesale cultural and technological shift. Turntable sales are booming, too.

Pro-Ject, one of the best manufacturers (I have one and love it), has been in the business of releasing band-themed turntables for the last few years. There are Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Elvis, and Metallica models. And now, one for Scorpions fans.

Based on the cover of the band’s 1982 album, Blackout, it’ll sell for somewhere around $1,500-2,000.
