Surface Noise | More Fireworks Than the 4th of July! | Vinyl Record Collecting

The conversation never stops on Surface Noise: The Show of Record, Talking Records! Join the panel for another episode covering the biggest news, stories, and debates from the world of vinyl records, record collecting, audiophile releases, and music. Hear about the latest current events in the wild world of vinyl record collecting, including the newly announced ORG reissue of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain (in all their various forms and colors) and the official announcement of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's (MoFi) Rush reissue series. We'll discuss what collectors should know, what these releases could mean for the market, and whether they're worth adding to your collection. Then we’re joined by special guest Louie Golden, aka the man behind the music of Sharon is Karen to talk about his brand-new album, Dark Forces ’95. We’ll discuss the creative process behind the project, the music that inspired it, recording an original album in today’s vinyl landscape, and what listeners can expect from the release. Finally, we dive into one of the most fascinating corners of record collecting: albums that became valuable because something went wrong—or unexpectedly right. From legendary manufacturing mistakes and alternate covers to mastering anomalies and accidental rarities, we’ll explore famous examples, withdrawn releases, misprints, label errors, alternate mixes, promotional oddities, and other records whose mistakes helped turn them into legendary collectibles. It won't matter if you’re a longtime vinyl collector, audiophile, crate digger, Discogs buyer, eBay hunter, record dealer, or someone just discovering the hobby, Surface Noise brings thoughtful conversation, collector insight, and plenty of opinions every week.
