This is a presentation based on an interview I did

1. Vinyl Explosion

Jahmar Rich

2. An LP or long play is always longer than an EP.
Originally before the release of the 33 1/3 RPM
12 inch record was released and LP needed
two vinyls per release.

3. An EP or extended play album is usually Shwayze
shorter than an LP or long play album. These usually
contain anywhere between four and
fi
ve songs, and
are usually about 10 minutes in length.

4. Research Question
• Do you o
ff
er consignment to indie artist? “No we do not, we are a startup
that focuses on nostalgia”

5. Event
• Are there any events coming up at the store? No we are a smaller
company and usually when a record company host an event it’s because
they need to bring in extra money and we are doing just
fi
ne.”

6. Record store day
• “We just opened the store in December so we were not open to
participate in record store day”

7. Swag

8. There were no promos

9. Re
fl
ection
• I would not use this store for a local artist and the album release due to
the fact that they had no experience in the industry and they just started
out in December. However, I would host an in-store event. This could be
bene
fi
cial to the store, and the artist due to the fact that this is a local
store, and they seem to have a good amount of business. I would also
leave sample albums just to get the artist name out there.
