Description:

In a few simple steps, plastic in a range of colors is melted, extruded in a hockey puck form and pressed between two metal plates that emboss the plastic with the grooves and ridges that are the DNA of the music. A quick trim later, and a perfect disc is born.

Pressing thousands of records featuring music from up-and-coming artists to legends like Bob Dylan and Joan Jett, Brooklyn Phono has grown since Bernich started it back in 2001, but remaining true to its Brooklyn roots has always been important.

I remember when music on vinyl began its descent into a slow, gruesome death. It was in the late 1980s, and record companies began incentivizing consumers to buy CDs instead of vinyl or cassettes. By the mid-1990s, only hardcore nerds cared anything about vinyl, and new vinyl releases mostly consisted of local punk bands pressing 45s.

But rumors of vinyl’s death were greatly exaggerated. According to Forbes, 2015 marked the 10th consecutive year sales of vinyl records had increased, and last year the medium surged by 30 percent thanks to millennials scooping up records by Adele, Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Miles Davis.

In fact, Adele’s 25 sold 116,000 copies in 2015 to become the year’s best-selling vinyl album.

Meanwhile, Louisville-based Crosley Radio has taken notice. The longtime maker of radios, which has become well known for its line of faux-vintage turntables, jukeboxes and other electronics, will roll out the Crosley Cruiser, a mobile record shop, on March 26.

The brainchild of Jason Menard, Crosley’s director of marketing, the Crosley Cruiser — which was named after a classic Crosley turntable — will feature not just albums for sale, but listening stations, electronics and more.

Menard says finishing touches are still being done to the truck, but based on recent photos, the interior will look astonishingly like a brick-and-mortar retail store, complete with glass doors for entry. On the right side of the truck, shoppers will find seating along with electrical and USB outlets for phone charging or Internet browsing.

On the left will be turntables, radios and the like displayed for sale, with a hand-crafted Crosley Rocket jukebox that’ll spin music at all times. On the walls will be dozens of records for sale, with a small checkout spot near the front and an exit in the rear. And near the exit will be a pair of listening stations. Expect plenty of Adele and Swift. Why? Because it isn’t your dad who is buying records — he already sold his at the last family garage sale.

“Our demographic has shifted from older consumers who grew up on vinyl,” Menard says. “It’s the 15-year-old girl who wants to buy a record player because it looks cool. The whole vinyl industry has seen a shift into this new generation. This resonates with that generation.”

It doesn’t stop there. In 2017, Crosley Records will open an actual record-pressing plant in Louisville. Research and development are still under way, and a site for the plant is being sought, Menard says, but the plan will go through. And it’s a natural response to the unlikely vinyl resurgence.

“We’ve been selling record players for years,” Bo LeMastus, Crosley’s CEO, toldARCARacing.com in March. “So getting in the record-pressing business is a natural extension of what we’ve already been doing. There isn’t a lot of record-pressing equipment out there, so we’re buying some. Now, we’ll be able to take a recording, make a stamp, press out a vinyl record and package it to completion.”

The pressing equipment is being purchased from a plant in the U.K., according to the ARCARacing report. The new Louisville plant will include a professional mastering studio as well, Menard says. Further details for that project are unavailable.

For now, though, the Crosley Cruiser will provide a unique opportunity for Menard and his team to show off the brand and take advantage of a trend. With exterior design by local artist Robby Davis (who also does the distinctive artwork for Against the Grain Brewery & Smokehouse), Menard feels it will connect with the right audience. The murals also feature plenty of Louisville references — from a bucket of chicken to a bourbon barrel.

On Saturday, March 26, the Crosley Cruiser will make its debut at Against the Grain with alaunch party from 1-5 p.m. featuring giveaways, a BYOV (bring-your-own-vinyl) DJ, and a special lager brewed exclusively for this party called Two Tettnangers and a Microphone. From there, expect to see it atAbbey Road on the River. Crosley also has signed a three-year agreement that will bring the rolling record store to Forecastle.

The more vinyl’s popularity grows, the more we’ll likely see the Crosley Cruiser around town. There’s even a sound system that will play the jukebox audio outside for passersby to hear. We’ll probably start seeing this thing anywhere from the Flea Off Market to NuLuFest.

Have some old records put away somewhere in your attic? In your basement? Did you inherit someone’s
collection? This page provides general information on assessing your records and determining whether you have a real goldmine or just the same old stuff everyone else has

How Much Are Your Old Records Really Worth?

Please, do not phone us to discuss the value of your record collection, unique items you own or how or where to sell your records. All these questions are answered in detail below. If you must contact us, send us E-Mail. We will answer your E-Mail
Information on Continental Records Buying

Continental Records only purchases brand new 45 RPM records.
If you have a large quantity (2000 or more) of brand new 45s to sell, please contact us for the best price

Continental Records does not buy used 45s or any LPs/12″ or 78s.
If you have such records to sell please read the information we provide below on selling your collection

Don’t Want to Spend 10 More Minutes Reading?
OK, here’s the Scoop . . .

Your records must be in “like new” condition to have any value
Rock ‘n’ roll, rhythm & blues and jazz records manufactured in the 1950s and 1960s are the most valuable records
Other records made in the 1950s and 1960s usually have some value
Most records that were made before 1950 and after 1970 have little or no value (except as detailed below)
Make a list – without a list your records are only worth pennies a piece

Prices detailed on this page

All pricing on this page is for records that are in “like new” condition. LPs and EPs that are “still sealed” (in their original cellophane wrapper) are worth more than the quoted prices
Record condition is paramount

Do you wish to determine the value (or sell) obviously used copies (no sleeves or covers, noisy when played, scratches, marks, writing or tape on label or cover, etc) of common phonograph records from any year (1901-1999)? Most best-selling records from the past were pressed in the millions and used copies usually have little or no value

In almost all cases there are sufficient copies of records in “new” or “like new” to satisfy all current (and future) collector needs

The best value on obviously used records described above is not what money they will fetch but the enjoyment you can still get from them – continuing to play them, enjoying the music and remembering the moments – this is why the records were purchased in the first place (right?)

78s? 45s? LPs? 12″?
Identify your records before you go further

Understand what you own. It is impossible to determine the value (or sell) your records if you do not even know if you have 78s or 45s or LPs or 12″ Singles

Don’t look for the speed on the record or cover – use the record size and photos above to determine what you have. Sort the three different sizes (10″, 7″ and 12″) into three different piles. Count the records of each size. This is your starting point for determing value. Use the four names (78s, 45s, LPs, 12″ singles) for making your list and any communications you might have about them
Rare and Valuable 78s
Most 78s are 10″ in diameter
Popular from 1900 to 1963 (Approximate dates)

Many people think that the older the record, the more it is worth – this is rarely true. Almost all popular 78 RPM records manufactured before 1950 have no value. Let’s face it, most collectors who remember and purchase records made before 1950 are now 80+ years old.

History does not mean age of the record. Does the record itself have a history? Items with high values are often records that fill spots in a historical era:

The roots of country music (early 1930s and 1940s country artists – often called “hillbilly.”
The history of rock ‘n’ roll – 1950s Rhythm & Blues or rockabilly,
Girl groups of the 1960s,
Northern Soul – Unique American single records (usually not hits in the USA) that were played by DJs in clubs in Northern England (e.g., Manchester, etc) in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
“Italo” disco. After the disco sound died in the USA it continued in Europe in the 1980s. Italo disco records are distinguished by a strong electronic beat and very weak vocals (if any).
Detroit and Motown (early Berry Gordy productions or other Detroit label releases), See Rare & valuable – More Examples above.

Answer records – even if not popular (I’m the Girl from Wolverton Mountain, the Duchess of Earl, etc.),
The history of electric guitar (early Les Paul), or,
Just to complete a collection on a certain artist such as early Jan and Dean on Arwin label or their later 1970s records on the Ode label or early Aretha Franklin on Columbia label etc.

THERE is major ‘back to the future’ action happening in JB HiFi stores across Australia — and it’s not in the DVD department.

Positioned prominently in the biggest music chain in Australia are not only racks full of newly-pressed vinyl albums, but an array of turntables to play them on.

The vinyl resurgence has outlived being a mere recycled fad with the format on track to outsell the format that replaced it — the compact disc.

For Melbourne store Polyester Records, vinyl sales now make up 90 per cent of their business; it was less than 20 per cent a decade ago when vinyl was considered all but extinct.

Polyester co-owner Nate Nott said the resurrection of vinyl can be linked to the disposable nature of modern formats like streaming and downloading and the short-attention span generation.

“It’s the process,” Nott said.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“There are so many distractions now, we’re always doing 1001 things. Listening to vinyl is something to do without your phone, it’s something where you can stop and enjoy it and get rid of all the other distractions. It’s the way vinyl lovers like to consume music. They will stream and download as well, but people who really pay attention to music like sitting on a couch and listening to a record.”

Sales of vinyl have been on the comeback for the past decade. Last year vinyl sales worldwide were the highest they’ve been in 25 years.

In the UK last year, 3.2 million vinyl albums were sold. The Australian sales statistics will be released by ARIA later this month, but are expected to follow the upward trend after jumping 38 per cent from 2014 to 2015.

JB’s embracing of vinyl speaks volumes; it’s now easier to find a new vinyl album than a CD in the chain’s busy stores.

Record labels, already haemorrhaging from the rapidly declining sales of CDs, are embracing music fans falling in love with vinyl again.

This April will mark the 10th anniversary of Record Store Day, a day when music stores around the world are swamped by music lovers.

Major labels have jumped on the occasion, printing a slew of one-off, limited edition rarities; some independent record stores control such limited edition purchases to try and stop the products winding up selling for a small fortune on eBay.

The popularity of Record Store Day helps the remaining bricks and mortar record stores; outlets that have also suffered with the rise of the digital downloading (legally or illegally) of music.

The day has for some years now been Polyester’s most profitable day of the year.

“It’s a blessing, it’s like a second Christmas for us,” Nott said.

“It gets us through winter. We still stock CDs — I like CDs, there’s no doubt they’ll probably have a resurgence again too, but the amount of customers who want to buy them are few and far between. I’m not saying vinyl has picked up the slack of the loss of CD sales, but we’re still here because it continues to grow every year.”

Paul Rigby runs Zenith Records, Australia’s only vinyl record pressing plant, based in East Brunswick.

The resurgence in vinyl led the company to upgrade to bigger premises three years ago, lugging their mid ‘70s vintage vinyl-making machinery with them, including a cutting lathe, which transfers the music into physical form.
