Hoje é o Record Store Day e este tópico merece ser ressuscitado...

The new buyer

Tom Kangro is an architect from east London, born in Kent. He has collected music on CDs for over 20 years and bought his first record player in January this year (2014). Kangro is limited to two vinyl purchases a month by his fiancee - so his collection doesn't take over their house.



"I have a grand total of 10 records. I've got lots of CDs, it's not like I'm new to collecting music it's just that now I'm into vinyl.

I like the fact there are a lot of new releases and I'm an architect and I'm interested in the visual design and artwork side of it.

"I also like the fact you can go into a record shop or charity shop and pick up old vinyl - I'd never do that with CDs. With vinyl it opens up a whole new era."
