They're Just Records
Real conversations about the vinyl record format from a real record store owner, customers and friends. From audio content and quality to artwork to collecting and all life's questions around music on wax, we'll get it covered without once name-dropping an ultra-expensive home setup or disparaging your digital masters.

In this episode Mark is all alone again (well, Stromboli the cat tries to make himself heard), ranting and raving about the current state of vinyl pricing and sales with lots of insider numbers and opinions specific to his little shop. On the bright side, he also runs down a list of his favorite releases so far in 2026.
Finally, the podcast will take a brief hiatus following this episode and should be back with new content mid- to late-June. Take some time to catch up on old episodes or, even better, that stack of records you haven't cracked open yet.
