Concert Buddie | The Price to Be an Audiophile Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back, Buddies! Hitting the ground running here with a mini 'sode talking about my own walk in the premium reissue market - namely UHQR - and how that series and the aims of other labels under the "audiophile" banner are pushing our vinyl appetites (and wallets) into places that require some real examination about the long term viability of those efforts. Based on some smaller direct conversations I've had with others in the community at large, I'm not alone in wondering what some of these labels are thinking, and I share some thoughts here only on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: Ari Crane Jul 03, 2024

Show notes

Buddies! I had the great fortune to befriend the latest guest on "Mind of The Record Collector' during my latest visit to the Austin Record Convention in May. Ari Crane has been collecting records for several decades, traversing the country in search of the obscure, the unusual, and the rare pieces of wax many of us only hear about. A fixture on the record show circuit, the stories Ari shares here are GOLD (just like the ones he shared in Austin with me during our first meeting). He's been a record store owner, served as Consignment Director of Vinyl Records and Music Memorabilia for Heritage Auctions, and now leads his latest endeavor - Vinyl4Vets.com - putting vinyl and means to listen to it into the hands of the heroes who serve this country. It's a wide-ranging talk, including why Ari believes encapsulation (ie "slabbing") will move a section of the hobby forward in a way similar to sports cards, comics, etc., and he may even pull out some mega rare records in his own collection that he's decided to archive in this fashion. All this and MORE, here on Vinyl Community Podcasts and "Mind of The Record Collector"!
