2021 Birthday and Christmas Self Gifted Presents Part 1: Music

Christmas is over and it’s almost the new year! I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. 2022 will be here before we know it!

Because of this, I decided to try to collect vinyl records that are reprints of certain albums or of newer albums that I can purchase very easily.

Over the past few months, I found a few albums I would like to own on vinyl. Although I didn’t buy them at the same time, I’m very happy to own them and wanted to talk about them in a post. Continue reading “Recent Additions to My Vinyl Record Collection- September 2020”
