Record collecting for a new generation

The Daily Bruin :: Vinyl records are regaining popularity in different genres and a new generation


Chris Walker began collecting the Pink Floyd discography on vinyl when he was a freshman in high school. He searched for its albums at every record store he visited, and told his friends to be on the lookout, too.
One evening during his sophomore year, one of those friends sent Walker a text message: “You’re not going to believe this, but Amoeba has an original printing of ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ in their Pink Floyd section. Should I buy it for you?”
When “The Dark Side of the Moon” was released in 1973, the record included a set of promotional posters and stickers inside the sleeve; those first pressings are now collector’s items.
