New Vinyl Record Talk Tuesday May 17th 8pm ET/ 5pm PT

So lots of topics came up during our interview on CRAGG on Saturday night, and we continue some reminiscences of how we got into selling records for a living, and why it is that with the ubiquitous choices for music in today's world we've managed to keep several tons of dead dinosaurs (puns intended in all directions here) out of landfills.

But we're going to entice you to our babble with great music too - rare soul from Tommy and the Derby's and Maskedman and the Cap-tans, plus some Neil Young and The Band.

In the news, vinyl sales are up 37% so far for the year, and this year's Record Store Day was the most profitable yet. Plus the run down of the Top 5.
