For the record(s), a fifth-anniversary party at Creme Tangerine: Wearing a distinctive orange sweater, Marty Capune eagerly sifted through boxes of vinyl records, occasionally picking out ones of interest. The Newport Beach resident worked for United Artists Records in the 1970s and knows his stuff. He’s bought or read more than 350 books on the history of popular music. He’s even accumulated 5,000 to 6,000 records at home — or something like that. “I’ve never counted them,” Capune said. Capune was among dozens of music lovers who came to Creme Tangerine’s fifth-anniversary party Friday night, which featured free beer, live music and plenty of records to discover — or re-discover.

Royal Mail wins appeal to convert Langley Records store into customer service centre: A long-standing vinyl record store in West Molesey is set to close after Royal Mail won an appeal to develop the site. Langley Records, which has been at its present Walton Road home for more than 40 years, is due to become a customer service point and staff toilets. The original application by landlord and neighbour Royal Mail was refused by Elmbridge Borough Council in July last year. Officers judged the change of use from retail to storage and distribution would be “detrimental to the character of the locality“.
Singapore’s Vanilla Thunder Records talk about lathe cut/vinyl releases: Today it is our honor to introduce Liza of Vanilla Thunder Records out of Singapore! Vanilla Thunder came into our lives only a few months ago when one of our favorite all girl hardcore bands Radigals announced the release of an 8″ lathe cut of their recent demo. (Check out how badass it looks down below!) As soon as we saw these posts not only did we want to get our hands on one of these lathe cuts, but we also wanted to know more about this label that for us outside of Singapore seemed to come out of nowhere.
The Record Player That Plays Your Vinyl Vertically: Ok, so we ran a news item today about the €895 Atmo Sfera turntable which has no platter so to speak and we came across another unusual turntable design, this time in the form of the $399 Gramovox that plays records vertically…and has built in speakers. The Gramavox plays 33s and 45s and has RCA outs so you can play it through a conventional hifi set up. It is a belt drive design that has an acrylic platter and comes complete with tonearm and a AT95E so it plays out the box with no set up.
