What’s happening right now in the world of vinyl collecting—and what should collectors be paying attention to? On this episode of SURFACE NOISE, the panel dives into the latest current events shaping the vinyl record hobby including:

(1) The "Kick" of a surprise Rhino Hi-Fi announcement?

(2) Vinyl market (new) growing by close to $1 billion dollars by 2029?

These are just some of the current events we tackle on this edition!

Then we flip the script with “Try This Instead of That.” Tired of chasing the same expensive pressings everyone else is after? What about other ways to hear the same great music we love? The crew shares creative alternatives, overlooked records, and unconventional collecting strategies that can satisfy your vinyl appetite without always following the crowd. Whether it’s exploring different pressings, diving into unexpected genres, or rethinking how you build your collection, you might walk away with a few new ideas for your next record hunt.

If you’re passionate about vinyl records, record collecting, Discogs, crate digging, and the culture surrounding physical media, this episode of SURFACE NOISE delivers the lively discussion and collector perspectives the Vinyl Community loves. Only on Vinyl Community Podcasts.
