Needles & Arms Introduction Photo of Vintage Vinyl Records

This site is dedicated to vintage vinyl records. I worked at a major music label for almost 8 years and barely saw a vinyl record. Since leaving the label I’ve gotten a case of ‘vinyl fever’.

BE CAREFUL! It is quite addictive. Especially in today’s world of digital music. It is refreshing to actually hold a much-larger-than-cd-cover piece of artwork and hear the occasional crackle of vinyl imperfections. Most unexpected is the sweet sound of silence when a record ends. Often times digital music drones on forever as online streams or playlists loop endlessly.

One more welcome with vinyl is the level of interaction with listening to music. You have to manually select the record you’d like to hear, put it on the turntable, make sure it is clean, return to packaging, and file away into the archives when finished. With vinyl you become your own personal deejay.

Recently I have found an opportunity to begin a serious vinyl collection. Although my space is limited. I am currently previewing the records I find in my daily vinyl adventures and archiving favorites into a personal collection. The remaining records I’ve been trading. And in the spirit of FREE music I’ve been giving away a bunch.

Thanks!
