Surface Noise | Has the Collector Mindset Changed Vinyl Record Collecting For The Better?

The conversation keeps spinning on SURFACE NOISE —the show of record, talking records. In this episode, the panel kicks things off with the latest current events in vinyl collecting, breaking down what’s happening across the hobby right now—from record store chatter to the latest releases and headlines shaping collectors’ conversations:   - A new ERC release of a reissue staple? - Miles Davis returns in Salina, Kansas? - And another musician has left this celestial plane (but had some baggage while they were amongst the living).   From there, we dig into a topic that might be too 🔥 to handle: has the “collector mindset” actually changed vinyl record collecting for the better? The panel explores how chasing variants, limited pressings, and high-dollar grails has reshaped the hobby—impacting everything from pricing to the way people discover and connect with music. Are we better record collectors for it? Has the over-saturation of information made this all less attractive? Answers will vary... Whether you’re crate-digging every weekend or just getting started, this is vinyl talk you can take on-the-go, when you go, wherever you go. 🎧 This....is SURFACE NOISE   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.youtube.com/@Groove_Seeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more on the immortal Jose Moreno Rahn (aka John Bong): https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas     For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com . . . . .   Don't forget to visit FOTS (friends of the show) Vinyl Storage Solutions for the BEST sleeves to protect your best records (and your worst).
