Today, we bring you our Wednesday Vinyl Collector of the Day, Chris Morin. Chris currently calls Montreal home, but from the sounds of it, he will again be moving in a few months or so. The photo you see above is actually of one of many moves for his collection. Chris describes the photo as, “A hilarious/tragic photo of my collection, en route to rural Saskatchewan, packed entirely in a 2-door Honda Civic hatchback.”

While I was concerned that posting a Collector feature every day might get to be a bit much, every one of them have been an interesting read. I recommend reading Chris’ story of how he got into collecting vinyl, his first vinyl purchase (which is also one of his most prized records), records he would like to see pressed, and out of print records he would love to own. Thanks Chris for taking the time to answer these questions. Glad to hear you now have a van to make moving your records that much easier.

As suspected, we sold a great number of Jawbreaker, Brendan/Joe splits, Matt Pryor, Yesterday’s Ring, and Lifetime. Only 17 copies of Tim Barry’s “28th & Stonewall” colored vinyl remain, get it this week if you want to ensure you get a copy. The 2nd Suburban Home Records Mix Tape actually sold out (1,000 copies sold over 2 weeks), but I ended up getting more booklets made and just added some more to the store. If you want a mix tape, I recommend getting one sooner than later.
