Steve Carlson and Jim Gleason. A vinyl collector and a record store owner. For several years now, Steve has been visiting Jim’s store every Sunday afternoon to chat about records, music and whatever else came to mind. These visits morphed into a Podcast… And now, you can join their weekly chats, as they discuss all things vinyl. From classic albums to new releases and Record Store Day Exclusives. It’s your everything Vinyl Community Podcast.
The podcast Two Guys Talking About Records – A Vinyl Community Podcast is created by Jim Gleason and Steve Carlson. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
The Two Guys cover two subjects on this week's episode. First, with the official release of the Pink Floyd Pompeii album, Jim wonders if last year's sale of the band's catalog and rights might affect the production of new bootleg Floyd albums. Then, the guys dive into the Vinyl Me Please debacle. As the subscription label begins to liquidate, (not quite a bankruptcy) some customers could be out thousands of dollars. Steve and Jim also cover their most recent collection pickups.
