Record Store Day, the annual day of celebrating *independent* record stores around the country, is trundling up once more and we could not be more excited. We’ve got a pretty extensive hit list of records to sneak into our ever expanding collection.
Below is a disturbing statistic published by the BBC today about vinyl consumers; vinyl is swiftly becoming an attractive commodity in a world which increasingly is filled with intangible collectibles, my personal Spotify playlist collection is now approaching the hundreds with at least 100 songs per-playlist. That’s an awful lot of stuff that I can hear – but can’t see.
But records are serious business – vinyl now accounts for 3% of the entire music industry which, although unlikely, is a pretty serious portion of gross sales. It’s also a great hobby to collect vinyl, you get to be super picky and exclusive with what you’re buying and really begin to build up a collection which is really personal to you. Trust us when we say it’s a whole different ballgame when you pick a record out and pop it on your slick new record player on a sunny day to just joylessly picking through a Spotify playlist on your phone.
All this being said, you’re going to need to know where to start if you’re a first time buyer/collector. Musicroom have got you covered, guys. We’ve got everything from record bags, a ton of different record players which suit lots of different budgets, some interesting alternative uses for vinyl along with something rather special for your cat.
