Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: Tired of All The Preorders?

Still simmering for vinyl record collecting talk after SURFACE NOISE? Good...these BONUS TRAX aim to satisfy! 🤩 The panel jumps into a discussion asking whether vinyl preorders still necessary? Still joined by friend of the show Louie V (Vinyl Latte) whose recent blog post touched on this sensitive issue. Preordering once felt like the only way to guarantee you wouldn't miss a limited pressing, exclusive variant, or anticipated reissue. But with rising prices, delayed releases, questionable quality control, endless variants, and records frequently remaining available long after release day, are collectors better off waiting? Still 'til the very end for a word from our new "sponsor" and re-kindle your inner thug. 😜 An informed collector is a better collector (at least that's what we keep telling ourselves).
