Our Story
Conceived years ago, in my personal secret files of my mind, I have been and continue to visualize and create what would eventually be named Black Vinyl Stories. From the prior personal experiences of working in and managing record stores in the 70’s, visiting hundreds of record stores throughout North America over the past three decades and during those visits talking with many of those record store owners. … I knew there were stories to be captured, shared and I wanted to do it. For decades this has been bouncing around in my thoughts, how would I do this. What weighed on me, these owners and stores had amazing stories, if they were not captured, they would be lost forever.

From the music continuously filling our basement to the captivating audio books of renowned musicians playing during our rides to my hockey games, my dad’s influence on my musical taste was undeniable. His stories about working in record stores while in his late teens and early twenties during the 70s only fueled my curiosity further, eventually driving me down a path of wanting to uncover more about that era.
