Recycling Vinyl
The idea of recycling vinyl isn’t new. Labels like Chicago’s TRAX used recycled vinyl to press some of their 1980s releases, but the results were not always well received. Vinyl records are made from (PVC) pellets, which are melted and pressed into disc form. The material’s chemical and molecular attributes have a huge impact on the audible quality of music playback, and a disc made with low-grade or impure raw materials will sound terrible.
Andrew Grant of Brooklyn’s Halcyon record shop explains, “we work with the different pressing plants, and we give them vinyl, varying from used to new but unsold, and they recycle that vinyl by punching out the center and grinding it up to make new records.”
The key factor here is the condition of the records being recycled: current recycling methods require spotless and clean raw material in order for the recycled product to be as pure as possible. Simply put, your old, beat up dollar-bin finds may not be suitable for recycling, and manufacturing plants may not want anything to do with them! And this major stumbling block rules out a huge proportion of the unwanted vinyl floating around in people’s garages, attics and bottom shelves of record collections.

Part of the reason vinyl sucked ass when the CD was introduced.

It does make sense for club 12"s, though. They're cut pretty hot, so any surface noise is easily masked.

this was also an interesting development…
Industry rumors are ablaze about a new alleged ‘high definition’ vinyl product that could potentially yield higher audio fidelity and longer play per side. This “HD Vinyl” production method would also do away with “toxic chemicals used in the electroplating” process and introduce laser-cut grooves. Could this mean less PVC used in general? Skeptics and hopefuls alike will have to wait until October’s Making Vinyl conference in Detroit to hear for themselves.

I just bought this turntable

https://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Reference-Turntable-Cartridge-Vibration/dp/B07KGL56XJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=fluance%2Brt85&qid=1622669381&sprefix=fluance&sr=8-2&th=1&psc=1

Probably first nice turntable I have ever bought which is kind of crazy.. DJ sidehatch gave me two nice ones about 15 years ago but they sort of ran their course years ago… then I bought some at thrift stores but they all eventually had issues then I bought a cheap audio technica and it started making a buzzing sound

Over the past few years I have hooked up about ten people with turntables..you used to literally find them on the street!

Anyways I hope I have luck with this one… the reviews are generally great

Wow thanks for the overflowing interest and love!


Got turntable yesterday..managed to set it up this morning and listening to the fabulous Arthur Verocai LP… sounding great but its a spotless high quality reissue…another test will be playing some scratchy old vinyl…

Looks like an awesome rig
congratulations on the new addition to the family
May it spin long

A neighborhood listserv score this morning…Mint condition OG pressings of multiple albums from The Beatles, The Stones, Neil Young, B-52s, Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, The Smithereens, tons of classical albums. Very niiiiiice.

Wow I hope you picked them up

Yes, hence the first sentence about the "neighborhood score"!

That's sweet. Which Beatles albums? I recently purchased the Mono Masters vinyl box set and holy shit Revolution sounds phenomenal in mono.

Just making sure! :)

I already had the complete (standard) discographies of all of those bands on vinyl except B52s and Smithereens.

I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I think he’s losing his edge…

As am I but prepare to shell out some cash for it. Wish I had started getting into vinyl sooner as I would have bought that entire mono box set in 2014. They're all out of print now.
