We had the pleasure of attending Records of Anime: Collecting Anime Vinyl Panel for two years in a row.  Our host loves this stuff, It's easy to tell with how knowledgeable she is about Japanese Music and Vinyl Collecting.  Providing us with a ton of information including shopping tips, discount codes, and more. 

A fun fact that I learned was that most Anime Vinyls are pressed out West.  In a situation where you are looking for something printed by a Japanese Label, it’s better to hold out for repress than purchase second-hand.  Resellers always up the price.  Here are some places where you can find them.

Vinyl Records: A Timeless Medium for Music Lovers

In today's fast-paced digital world, vinyl records may seem like a relic from a bygone era. However, for music lovers and audiophiles, vinyl remains a timeless medium that offers a unique listening experience that cannot be replicated by digital formats.

Vinyl records have a long and storied history. They were first introduced in the late 1800s as a way to capture and reproduce sound. However, it wasn't until the 1950s and 60s that vinyl records became the dominant medium for music distribution. The format's popularity continued to grow throughout the 70s and 80s before declining in the 90s with the rise of CDs and digital music.

Despite the decline in popularity, vinyl records have experienced a resurgence in recent years. In 2020, vinyl sales surpassed CD sales for the first time in over three decades. This resurgence is driven in part by the unique listening experience that vinyl records offer.

Unlike digital music, which can be compressed and processed to fit onto a small file, vinyl records offer a full-bodied sound that captures the nuances and imperfections of the original recording. Vinyl's analog format means that each playback is unique, with slight variations in sound quality that give each record its own character.

Additionally, vinyl records offer a tactile experience that cannot be replicated by digital formats. Holding a vinyl record, carefully removing it from its sleeve, and placing it on a turntable is a ritual that adds to the overall experience of listening to music.

For many music lovers, vinyl records are also a collector's item. The unique artwork and packaging of each record offer a tangible representation of the music and the era in which it was released. Owning a vinyl record collection can be a source of pride and joy for collectors, and the hunt for rare and hard-to-find records can be a lifelong pursuit.

At Calcutta Records, we understand the enduring appeal of vinyl records. We offer a wide selection of new and used vinyl records, spanning a range of genres from rock and pop to jazz and classical. We also offer turntables and other audio equipment to help you get the most out of your vinyl listening experience.

So why not come and visit us today? You never know what rare gem you might find!

Between the Shelves: An Excerpt from the 2022-2023 Molitor University Course Catalog by Dale W. Glaser

Between the Shelves is a showcase of Archive of the Odd stories outside of the main zine.

The following story is by the fantastic Dale W. Glaser. Dale W. Glaser is a lifelong collector, re-teller and occasional inventor of fantasy tales.  He needs air, food, water and stories in order to survive, not necessarily in that order. His lifelong love of written words has manifested as a devotion to the English language almost exclusively, which is probably just as well because if he were to master any of the dead tongues that conceal ancient mysteries and invoke malevolent forces, we’d all be in trouble.

Note from the author: I was an English Major who held a part time job at the school’s music library, which was a single large room with one set of shelves for vinly LPs and another for bound music scores.  Like many other creatives, though, I’ve long harbored a wish to visit a library so vast I could get lost in it.  “Excerpts”, similar to a lot of my fiction output, is an exploration of the old chestnut “be careful what you wish for”.

Every Shade of Love by Jesse Johnson

I became a Prince disciple late in his life. Yes, I knew who Prince was, listened to an occasional song every now and then (who didn’t in 1999), and had seen some of his more iconic per4mances – but I didn’t know Prince.

It wasn’t until several years ago that I began my path towards salvation and devotion. My fiancée takes credit 4 my late Prince revelation. And perhaps, rightly so. After all, she gave me my first Prince record – Purple Rain, of course – 4 a birthday gift. And my new A.P. (After Prince) life began.

My journey accepting him into my life didn’t follow a direct course; rather, I meandered through his extensive catalogue at my own pace and order, allowing what I discovered in record stores to guide my teachings. Soon, I amassed his 70s and 80s discography through Graffiti Bridge, along with his last couple of releases. And winding my way 4wards and backwards through time with each new album – the funky grooves, NSFW lyrics and brilliant, otherworldly musicianship  – was a thrilling experience.

During this same time, I also began to learn about Prince’s extensive influence on other artists and his musical disciples, including the Time. Which brings me to Jesse Johnson. I also didn’t know Jesse Johnson or realize that he was a Prince disciple – per4ming as a lead guitarist in the Time – despite Every Shade of Love’s cover not so subtly hinting at the similarities I might uncover. So I picked it up.

And if Prince’s palm prints were all over the Time, his fingerprints are sprinkled throughout Every Shade of Love.

Like the Time, Jesse Johnson exudes a cool, confident and sexy swagger on Every Shade of Love. And like Prince, Jesse Johnson wields his prowess of the guitar with stunning precision and meticulous beauty. And at the end of the day, that’s really what Every Shade of Love is all about – a showcase 4 Jesse Johnson’s guitar chops.

While each track lays down funky grooves, hard beats and smooth vocals, it’s the guitar solos that steal the show and what u’ll remember. That’s because un4tunately it isn’t until the slow jam “I’m Just Wanting You” and the fun, effortlessly breezy closer “Stop-Look-Listen” that the album final breaks free from its paint-by-numbers 80s funk song streak and finds its own voice.

Even though these songs might be too little, too late, at its best Every Shade of Love shows flashes of brilliance that edges close but never quite achieves the Purple One’s level of showmanship and style – and that’s still pretty darn good.

Which brings me back to Prince. Even after all this time, I still don’t know Prince. I may know some about his music, those he influenced and collaborated with, and tidbits about his life, but I never did – and I never will – know him.

But that doesn’t make me sad. And it’s probably why I don’t get too down on April 21.

Of course, it saddens me he passed so suddenly and relatively young with so much left to give – and I can’t imagine the pain his passing caused to so many who knew him well or to those he truly impacted.

But there’s still another Prince I do know, and that’s the one from my journey these past several years. And I’m grateful 4 that music and legacy in my life – and the chance to still spend a little bit of time with him whenever I want with just the drop of a needle.

And that brings me joy as we get through this thing called life.

I was tagged by deceitful-eyes

How old are you? 24

Dream job? Criminal/juvenile lawyer and founder of a nonprofit organization for children 

What is a big goal you are working towards (or have already achieved)? Graduating from college/currently working on my masters and later law school 

What’s your aesthetic? Natural hair, earthy-like/soulful fashion 

Do you collect anything? Vinyls and pretty much anything with Michael Jacskon (aka album cassette tapes, CDs, vinlys, DVDs, magazines, pictures, collectors items, books, etc.) 

What’s a topic you’re always up to talk about? Michael Jackson and injustice (to a certain extent because then I start getting too hype and don't know when to calm down when I talk about either of those topics) 

What’s a pet peeve of yours? People smacking when they chew and the sound of plastic plates being folded 

Good advice to give? Learn to love and like yourself because you're your best friend. Not everybody is going to be rooting for you so be your own anchor even if you're scared and don't think you're not good enough. The only person who can hold you back from doing anything you really want in life is yourself. Also, practice giving yourself encouraging words every day to build yourself up even if you don’t believe it. The more you do it, the more you’ll start to believe it. Words are powerful. 

Recommend 3 songs: This is hard. History - Michael Jackson, Special/Can't Be Stopped - Janet Jackson, Show You the Way to Go - The Jacksons
