It is with great excitement we bring you a new feature at Vinyl Collective, the Collector of the Month. Through our store, we have come into contact with so many incredible people and as we get to know some of them, we thought hey why not feature a little profile on some of the people who frequent our store. Future Collector of the Month’s will be chosen at random, but if you think you have what it takes to be featured, drop us a line.
This first feature is of Loren Pachuta; Loren has ordered more from us than any other person(disclaimer: this is not a prerequisite to be chosen collector of the month). It isn’t uncommon for her to order all 4 colors of a vinyl release or multiple copies of some really rare title and it isn’t unusual for her to place more than one order in a week. I sent her over some questions and asked her to also send us a photo. Click the link to read more about Loren. Thanks Loren for your support of Vinyl Collective and for taking the time to do this interview. And nice photo (if you can tell, she is holding the Fear Before and Limbeck records we put out!)
If you have any ideas on questions we should ask to make this feature even cooler, add it in the comments.

I’m cringing at the sight of those fingers on the vinyl.
Why is she holding the vinyl like that? And how the hell does she afford it all? *sigh*
It looks like she is going to throw them like a frisbee. I hope she doesn’t handle the $150 LP like that. (BTW $150 is a shitload of money)
I would kill for Dog Problems on vinyl. The Format is the best band ever!!
$150 for Your Favorite Weapon?!? I bought that shit f or $10 when it came out.
Also, YFW never was on clear to my knowledge — it was only on white and blue (with white being the rarer of the two, if memory serves me correctly).
i started up a wiki project to collect info on limited edition pressings.
we need more contributors though.
i’ve got 300 releases from about 100 artists up so far.
it was released on clear i believe its the most limited colore….theres a photo of it..
