Most of us have only been accustomed to streaming music media and haven’t really experienced the rich sound of music coming from an LP on a turntable. But for some of us, vinyls are the only way to experience true music, not just because they’re retro and there’s an element of nostalgia attached to them, but because the music is in its true element, and the routine is something that one can’t really let go of. So this World Record Day, all you vinyl-lovers, don’t hold yourself back because these two pop-ups in the city demand your time and attention.
