When Joeita Gupta received a record player from her mother-in-law as an anniversary present, she had no idea that it would blossom into a lifelong hobby of collecting records. Now, she’s noticed that so many other people are picking up the hobby too, and independent record stores are popping up all over. What is so attractive about this “old-school” medium? Courtney, the owner of Baxter’s Vinyl in Leslieville, Toronto shares what drove her to open a record store and what keeps her patrons coming back time and time again. Jilayne Jordan is an avid vinyl collector and wrote an article about the revival of the record. Jilayne offers interesting insight into how the vinyl record industry was damaged by cassettes and CDs, and how it’s making its comeback thanks to modern day collectors and superfans. Paul Miller, Senior Vice President of Sales at Precision Record Pressing, gives us a glimpse into how the company has dealt with the boom in the record industry.
