Phosphorescent - C'est La Vie

Story

“Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, “Listen, mate, life has surface noise.” - John Peel

That surface noise is one of the warm, fuzzy charms of analog recordings that aficionados, recording artists, and turntable enthusiasts alike treasure about vinyl — Tom Waits even went so far as to record sizzling bacon and add it to digital tracks to capture a semblance of the often-imitated-never-duplicated feel of vinyl. Whether it’s a warm summer night with the windows wide open or a chilly winter evening with the fire going, we love having a few friends over, serving up some drinks, and starting up the turntable with the sounds of our favorite records.

Why We Love Vinyl Me, Please

• Includes exclusives features that wouldn’t otherwise be in a standard issues vinyl
• Unique packaging produced just for vinyl, including the album cover, sleeve, inserts, and records
• Superior lossless audio quality compared to digital formats
• Interactive, engaged listening experience — from choosing the record from your bin to dropping the needle to flipping the record
• Owning the physical copy of the music rather than a digital file, plus most vinyl comes with a digital download included for on-the-go listening
