The Waxed is back on Vinyl Community Podcasts to share a new interview from his Thursday morning livestream with Craig Crane, the owner of Analogue October Records in Chichester, England. Craig is a self-described crusader for the warmth of analog in a sea of digital detachment.
"With a steadfast dedication to vinyl records, cassette tapes, and the cherished memories they evoke, he champions the cause of the authentic, the cherished, and the timeless. Amid the convenience of digital streaming, his store stands as a bastion for the physical, a haven where the crackle of a record and the tactile joy of flipping a cassette side reign supreme. Yet, he navigates the balance between analog passion and the digital era, occasionally embracing the pristine sounds of CDs and SACDs....In a world quick to forget the value of the past, he operates beyond the mainstream, ensuring that the spirit of music's golden ages remains alive and accessible for all who seek refuge from the relentless advance of the digital domain"
Hear firsthand the efforts involved in operating a physical store + global online marketplace for music fans around the world, information on new releases, running his own record label of often overlooked music marvels, and the work invested in procuring and obtaining music for his customers.
Joining the discussion are regulars to The Waxed's regular Tuesday & Thursday morning livestreams: Jim Kaplan from Record Collector News and Norman Maslov.

Please join us for the latest foray into the wild world of vinyl record collecting: the one, the only SURFACE NOISE: A-Side! 💥
First things first, we tackle 🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 - the Record Store Day 2025 list leaked, then dropped (officially). So what are our first impressions of the list? 💸
Then, does the celebrity record collector do more harm than good? ie - do they project a level to collecting that is Unattainable? Unreasonable? or inspirational? Ex. Questlove, Elton John, Henry Rollins, etc. 🕶️
And more, and more, and MORE! . . . . only on Surface Noise: A-Side! 🎧

Nestled into the latest FREESTYLE following the SURFACE NOISE B-Side, our vinyl adventures discussed color vinyl variants. Specifically, does the music sound better on anything other than black wax? With more choices than ever before of vinyl color treatments, splatters, or even liquid-filled records, is it better to just stay with tried & true black wax, or have manufacturers perfected the sound to match the high level of inspired color variants on today's latest records? Get these takes and MORE, here on the latest FREESTYLE!
