The Vinyl Loft: Recent Episodes
The Vinyl Loft
We spin over 7 decades of music on a format that refuses to die. As a long time record collector I’ve enjoyed a lot of music and have amassed quite a vinyl collection over the years. As the vinyl craze or rebirth has taken hold it’s been great to pick up newer releases and quality reissues to share with my listeners. But collecting classic original releases and discovering new used record shops will always be my passion. “Like” us on Facebook and “follow” us on Instagram. You can also find our full show archive on Mixcloud.
On this edition we'll share a couple of rare early tracks from INXS plus a long distance dedication to a customer who was in the shop for the first time and new to the Upper Valley.
Plus brand new music from Brandi Carlile and more!!!!
On this edition of The Vinyl Loft we share some our personal RSD haul along with lots new vinyl pressings we've had piling up waiting to play. Plus new music from The Strawbs, ABBA, The Scorpions and Geoff Tate.
We also want to thank Apple Care Support for helping to work the kinks out of our new Mac Studio which kept crashing during recording. (Thus the art work which is a Google stock image our Mac Studio wasn't doing that!!!)
Everything seems fine now just some growing pains as we enjoy our first MAC.
Today we celebrate Easter and the coming Spring with a wide selection of favorites and a few new surprises thrown in as well. We'll be featuring music from soundtrack albums of Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell, as well as brand new music from The Strawbs.
The music will be all over the place artist wise so we hope you enjoy the ride.....
On this special edition of The Vinyl Loft we pay tribute to the late drummer of the Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins.
We'll spin some of their greatest hits including music from some of the great drummers who were influences on him, including tracks from Queen, The Police, and of course Genesis. Taylor called the Seconds Out LP his drumming bible. It's fitting to as we record this weeks show following the final show of the Genesis farewell tour The Last Domino? at the London O2 Arena.
Also on the show we spin brand new music from Lindsey Buckingham and a classic cut from Brian May's Back to the Light album which was recently reissued on vinyl as well as cuts off of some Italian imports of albums by The Beatles, Eagles, Aerosmith and even Boston.
(You might even hear something from Wil Robinson himself Bill Mumy.)
Hope you enjoy the show and please share it with others and don't forget to check us out on Facebook, Instagram and of course visit us at the Vermont Antique Mall booths 507 & 520.

This is a special show (kinda) as we play a couple of tracks off a lost minidisc full of vinyl dubs featuring singles we no longer own. We had to go out and purchase a special Minidisc DATA machine to play the disc.
We also dig into the ever growing pile of vintage vinyl finds including a quad lp from J. Geils Band, Stackridge, Genesis and an obscure late 60s garage band from Long Island who called themselves The Hassles.

On this week's show we celebrate the cassette tape with an entire program of music played off this much maligned audio format.
We hope to make mix tapes great again with a wide range of music from rock and pop to alternative and hair metal. (With some Stryper thrown in for good measure!!!)
Yes this show is packed with extra wow & flutter!!!
You'll be amazed at how decent cassettes can sound when played on a quality deck and a little post-production audio processing to boot.
(Many of the tapes heard on this week's show will be available to purchase in our booth at the Vermont Antique Mall.)
