April 7, 2010 - The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

The vinyl record is, as a recent news article states, getting its groove back, and The Record Exchange is right there with it. We never got rid of our vinyl, and recently we added yet another row of wax to meet the increasing demand from vinyl listeners.

But we carry much more than Idaho’s best selection of new and used vinyl. In addition to more than 20,000 records, we have record and turntable cleaning supplies and accessories, record tote bags, collector magazines, new turntables (including USB models), even vintage stereo equipment.

In short, if you’re looking to put the needle on the record (and maybe clean it every now and then), look no further than The Record Exchange.

THE VINYL WORD: AFRO-ROCK VOLUME ONE IS NOW AVAILABLE ON WAX!

March 30, 2010 - Recommended , The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

Afro Rock Volume One is one of the most important compilations of heavy original ’70s Afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. Originally surfacing on Duncan Brooker’s indie Kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from Africa made during the ’60s and ’70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a Pan-African identity within their music.

The album was one of the first to reach a far different audience in the traditional world music market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. A year later, the Nigeria 70 compilation surfaced on Strut, and labels like Soundway and Analog Africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the Motherland. Out of print since 2002, the album is being reissued on Strut in its original form with an extra bonus track, a dynamite unreleased psychedelic cut by Kenya’s Ishmael Jingo.
