We did a 45 for the last album and mailed those to radio stations that played vinyl and journalists who review it.  It gets people's attention.  Virtually none of our friends (including 3/4 of the band) have turntables, so it didn't really function as a way to get them to listen to the music.  Actual sales were also practically nil.

On a more serious level, what about vinyl records as merch? I work at a record store (yes, they do still exist), and easily a fourth of our sales are vinyl. I've seen a number of bands who will release a disc on vinyl and include a free MP3 download of the CD, thus bypassing the whole CD medium. Anybody here pressed vinyl recently? My last one was an EP from 1991.
