Our latest edition of "Surface Noise" has myself and our panelists (more info below) discussing bands or artists that surprisingly (or not) have never put out a greatest hits compilation (and maybe some that should). We then kick around strategies of record show glory in honor of Jason's upcoming trip to Den Bosch. Mayhem ensues. Get a sweet, sweet taste, by clicking ahead!

Hola, Buddies! So glad you can join us for another Vinyl Community Podcasts chat with a wonderful guest: TONE Scott.

Northern Revolutions | The Insane Cost of Record Collecting in Canada

In this episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts, Rob from Northern Revolutions chats with fellow Canadian Glen Kellaway (Glen Kellaway From the Basement on YouTube) about the INSANE pricing on vinyl in Canada these days.  The genesis of this discussion is the well publicized 30% price increase by the major Canadian record labels.  Rob and Glen elaborate on the myriad of other factors that make record collecting in Canada much more expensive than in the US including the additional costs we incur from Ebay & Discogs as well as the much smaller selection and lack of deals on Amazon and more. Learn how the other half lives, in this episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion | Facts on Vinyl Pressings

All aboard! On this latest episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts, David Bianco from Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion will carefully outline some important tenets of the current state of the vinyl pressing industry. As the need for more vinyl continues to grow, there is a pressing (pun intentional) desire for more capacity to produce higher volumes of new records. With several new players joining this vinyl arms race from the manufacturing side, how will these new pressing plants fare from a quality perspective? How do the longstanding manufacturers address their own quality challenges in their daily push to maximize production outputs? What kind of promises are being made to consumers, and what do future capabilities look like as the vinyl manufacturing space becomes more robust? With a long career spent in the manufacturing space, coupled with his fervent passion for the medium, David will dispel rumor from innuendo, and provide a clearer landscape of what 2023 and beyond is shaping up to look like in the vinyl manufacturing arena. Please sit back, adjust your tray table, and join us for this latest Audio Excusion!

Northern Revolutions | Vinyl Gambles: Wins and Losses in Vinyl Record Collecting

Hey Vinyl Community!  In this installment of Vinyl Community Podcasts, Rob from Northern Revolutions is joined by Concert Buddie to have a deeper discussion about some of their vinyl gambles experienced throughout their record collecting journeys.  Vinyl gambles could be those purchases we almost made but didn't for one reason or another and now maybe those decisions don't sit so well.  Or maybe the gambles were chances you took that paid off in a positive way.  The gamble discussion then digresses talking about the "miss out tax", plus sharing horror stories of ordering records through the mail, such as poor (read: BAD) packaging or the plight of Olympic hopeful Jimmy the Postal Discus Thrower™ practicing his craft during his day job, using our precious black wax as training equipment. Listener discretion is advised!

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion | A Lifetime of Vinyl 1963-2023

Oh, hello again listeners! For this particular Audio Excursion, host David Bianco shares his own personal journey with vinyl: what initially drew him to the medium, what his early collecting journey looked like, and what has kept him holding onto truly a lifetime of music on black wax all these years. David also shares why he left the radio industry early in his professional career, and where his interest in Hi-Fi gear began. We trust you'll find it's a conversation ripe with insights and reflection both, but also with eyes towards the future as his lifelong passion of collecting + listening to vinyl continues to bring new memories into the fold.
