<p>Vinyl’s no longer just for your dad’s dusty attic stash — it’s proper back on the decks. In 2024, vinyl album sales grew by 10% to a whopping&nbsp;£196m, with the demand of vinyl records cited as a primary reason for HMV&#8217;s reopening of its flagship Oxford Street store. Mega artists from Taylor Swift to Chappell Roan are all dropping limited edition variants of the stuff, and let&#8217;s be honest, it&#8217;s a whole load more fun than simply whacking a tune on Spotify. Here are seven brilliant record players that’ll make you want to dust off your record collection (or start a new one!)</p>
