How long should vinyl last?


Say I found a prestine copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band. It was brand new and never opened. If I play it on a state of the art turntable, how many years of play can I get out of it if I play it once a week and take excellent care of it? How long before the initial crispness disappears?

I have vinyl in my collection dating back to the 40's. Cleaning the album before playing and keeping it in a clean flat sleeve
has been my secret. I manually cleaned, then later began using a wet, vaccum record cleaning machine. All of my favorites have both been played many, many times they all still sound great. Take care of the records and they will always take care of your listening needs and wants.
