BBC Radio 6 Music are to celebrate New Year's Day 2012 with a vinyl-only marathon, seeing star-studded hosts and jockeys playing tracks only available on the physical format. Presenters such as Jarvis Cocker and Elbow's Guy Garvey will play a selection of their favourite records, as well as DJ Don Letts, Richard Hawley, Andrew Weatherall and singer Cerys Matthews. 6 Music boss Paul Rodgers said: "In a world dominated by digital music, vinyl is a format still close to the hearts of many music lovers and increased sales demonstrate its enduring appeal." Most BBC radio stations phased out vinyls over a decade ago, now predominantly preferring digital tracks. But 6 Music will buck the trend with this vinyl-only day to round off a month-long celebration of the music form. So get ready to welcome 2012 in with a bit of nostalgia and style, that's if you're not suffering a hangover from the year before.
