Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle (A-Side Edition)

After the lights dim, the latest FREESTYLE following SURFACE NOISE touches on topics too counterculture for regularly programming. For instance, hear the tale of Jason Roxas reuniting his record collection in full for the first time in many years. Or, hear our dais give their thoughts on the latest MoFi atrocity offering - just in time for the holidays (hint). In between, we share a segment called "Press Me, Please" where you'll hear albums we think are long overdue for some vinyl love. All this (and MORE) only on the latest FREESTYLE!

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.
