I am Joshua Glover, a self-proclaimed vinyl enthusiast, turntable tinkerer, and lover of all things analog.
Growing up in a home where the rich, warm sound of vinyl records provided the soundtrack to our lives, I found myself drawn to this nostalgic medium early on. I watched in fascination as my parents tenderly took out their cherished records from their sleeves, placing them on the turntable with a reverential precision that spoke volumes about their love for the music etched into those grooves. The beautiful album art, the satisfying weight of a vinyl record, the tactile pleasure of dropping the needle, and the mesmerizing spin captivated me entirely.
This fascination grew into a passion, and before I knew it, I was building my own collection of vinyl records, spanning genres, eras, and continents. I’ve spent countless hours scouring through dusty crates in record stores, delighted at the thrill of the hunt, and the unparalleled joy of discovering a rare gem or the final piece of a discography I had been longing to complete.
With this blog, Vinyl Place, I aim to create a space for fellow vinyl enthusiasts to learn, share, and celebrate the unique joy of vinyl records. Whether you’re a long-time collector, a casual listener, or a newbie intrigued by vinyl’s recent resurgence, this is a place for you. We’ll explore everything from how to start your own vinyl collection and understanding turntable tech, to deep dives into iconic albums and interviews with record store owners who have seen the ebb and flow of vinyl’s popularity over the decades.
