Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: The Most Stubborn Record(s) to Find

Surface Noise had a lot of flavor this week, but these Bonus Trax are sure to put the last spicy touch on the vinyl meatball of this messy, messy episode on Vinyl Community Podcasts! 🌯 Next up: The Most Stubborn Record to Find. Every collector has one. Maybe you've never seen it in the wild. Maybe you can find the album, but never the right pressing. Perhaps every copy is trashed, the price is ridiculous, or that one specific variant continues to escape you. We reveal the records that have stubbornly remained on our wantlists despite years of digging. Plus, we reminisce once again about a ghost of our record collecting journeys' past and whether they would still be in existence with all the labels going direct to consumer (Vinylphyle, Rhino Hi-Fidelity, Capitol Music Club, Interscope Vinyl Collective, etc).  Cherry on top? 🍒 We walk through some vinyl-inspired tchotchkes that may or may not be in our stockings come this holiday season (might want to go to the YouTube version to see these "creative" pieces of merch).  VMP < D2C?
