Tiny Vinyl is a new pocketable record format for the Spotify age

“I’ve already pre-ordered two Tiny Vinyl records,” Fred Whitacre Jr, a teacher, drummer, and record collector from Warren, Ohio, said. “But, I don’t think it’s something I’m going to delve very heavily into. I always like when vinyl pressings try something new, but for me, I’m probably going to stick with LPs and 45s.”

Tiny vinyl? That’s the coolest thing I’ve heard of in a while! I didn’t grow up with vinyl myself, but I inherited my first few records from my dad. Now we have a collection of about 100 or so. The funny thing is that my teenagers love vinyl too. I didn’t encourage them to listen to records or anything—they just picked up the love themselves. It’s amusing watching them flip through albums like in the old days, selecting their favorites to take to their rooms from time to time. I hope tiny vinyl records are compelling enough to gain traction and stick around for a while. I, for one, am rooting for them.
