Turntabling: Selling Records Again in 2013

Record Shops, , , ,

It’s been a while! The site has been dormant for some time because of a variety of things happening behind the scenes, but Turntabling is coming back in 2013 to sell rare, weird, obscure, fun and innovative music on vinyl and CD once more. The site is going to be getting a bit of a facelift, I’m getting very active on Twitter, Instagram and elsewhere, and basically Turntabling is coming out of the woodwork in the new year to do what we do best–live the vinyl lifestyle and blog about it here.

Keep watching this space, we’re live and active again as of now.

Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary

Media, Vinyl Finds, , , , ,

I discovered this clip posted by Blake Hennequin on YouTube. Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary seems to be a short vinyl-centric film rather than a feature-length documentary, but no matter–what grabbed my eye was the fantastic opening montage of a variety of vinyl records of all shapes and sizes spinning on a wide range of turntables. Gorgeous stuff. Sadly, it’s difficult to track down anything more about the film, but here’s the seven-minute long clip. Feast your eyes on those records!



Vinyl Records Flyin’ Through The Air

Blogs, Media, , , , , ,

This showed up on the Huffington Post under an insanely misleading headline–I was totally prepared to HATE this YouTube video based on what Huffpo called Vinyl Records Broken, Tossed, Kicked, Smashed In Incredible Ways. But I didn’t see any vinyl violence in this clip–just some really fun acrobatic ways to mount a record on a turntable.

Basically, these guys are totally awesome. What you see here is the result of a whopping EIGHTEEN HOURS of tossing, banking, flipping and rolling LPs. According to HuffPo, this is a bid for viral video fame/infamy. Fun fact revealed in the article: the guys discuss how LPs bury themselves in the dirt when tossed to or from a great height. Yep, those old crappy gospel records are DURABLE! Check out the clip below to see what the fuss is about. Fun stuff.



The Turntabling Collection Returns!

For Sale, Vinyl Finds, , , , ,

Yes, it took a bit of time, but The Turntabling Collection is back online for sale, updated regularly with new arrivals and titles. The vinyl and CDs are for sale as a fundraising effort to support Turntabling.net, so any purchases you make directly contribute to the growth of the site.

We could not exist without your support, and it is always greatly appreciated. We’ve got quite a bit of material planned for summer including more Vinyl Road Rage record store profiles, video, podcasting and much more. It’s always great to find and offer rare and obscure vinyl/CD titles and the never-ending search for these great releases takes us into some pretty strange/fun places.

Some have contacted us asking where the for-sale vinyl went, and now that it’s back I’d just like to say thanks for your patience and please check the site regularly for updates and new info–titles are added on a regular basis and there’s some pretty amazingly rare stuff coming. You can browse all current titles for sale and if you are selling a collection of vinyl, please get in touch–we’d love to know what you have. No show tunes, though, sorry–we don’t buy ’em. Soundtracks, yes, show tunes no.
