Surface Noise (A-Side) | We Came, We Saw, We Waited for a Shipping Notification

Friday Aug 23, 2024

Coming at you on the A-Side, SURFACE NOISE is back for your weekly look at the bloodsport that is vinyl record collecting. Latest news, reviews, and escapes from the zoo documented here for all to hear. Topics for this presentation include:

(1) Repeal the Seal: lots of videos of late dealing with this topic, and discovering that deadstock/long sealed records have damage (foxing/ghosting/hazing, warps, paper/label deterioration/etc) inside. Where do our panelists land on this topic and any horror stories for opening long-sealed records purchased that way?

(2) Trading Up: stories or scenarios where you traded records you owned (doubles? gifts?) for upgrades/grails/more desirable pieces. Where and who did you do the trading? Did it take some "nurturing" to get the deal across the finish line? etc

(3) Records our vinylists own that may surprise other people/that they wouldn't normally associate your taste(s) with

All that and MORE on the latest SURFACE NOISE: A-SIDE!

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records

Wednesday Aug 14, 2024

Buddies, Record Collectors, lend me your ears! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we resume my series "Mind of The Record Collector" which asks what we collect, why we collect it, and how we find it. Our guest today aims to touch all three tenets, and that is Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records in Tulsa, OK. Josh has a story familiar to many in the Vinyl Community: how a passion for this format and the music that comes from it lead him to work at record stores, for record companies, and eventually to open and operate his own business selling the best of the best Audiophile and high-end records available in the market today. Josh cut his teeth as a buyer at Josey Records, then learned directly from the pulpit (literally) of Chad Kassem's Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions operations in Salina, KS, before finally taking the leap in founding his own online business. Josh shares his personal journey as a collector along that road and shares his thoughts on the hobby today, how he sources his inventory, and even shares how he's added 21st century social marketing techniques to put the best pieces in the hands of the best collectors anywhere. Josh has a burgeoning presence on social media, including his own YouTube channel sharing information, tips, and details he's honed in his 20 years plus in the business. We know you'll enjoy this latest "Mind of The Record Collector" as much as we did!
