Just Played Vinyl #73 column
As the summer fades and the nights draw in, it’s time for the end-of-season round-up. While we settle into autumn comforts, there’s a curious side note to consider when reflecting on the physical media we cherish: the journey of the record itself.
It turns out that the relentless heatwaves of the summer didn’t just affect our outdoor plans; they also had a subtle, tangible impact on our vinyl collections. In fact, approximately 50% of recent releases have acquired a slight warp, a little souvenir from being jostled and moved around in warehouses during those intense periods.
Despite these accidental adventures, the true question remains: what are the worthwhile treasures worth picking up now?
To guide us through the perfect late-summer selection, we turn our attention to the fascinating world of music and physical media. We dive into the story of Freshly Pressed, a title that proves that even amidst the chaos of logistics and heat, there are always new sounds worth experiencing.
This feature was first shared with readers on Clash Magazine Music News, Reviews & Interviews, offering a glimpse into the enduring appeal of vinyl and the stories held within these physical formats.
