Greg Hall, Used Kids Records in Columbus Ohio...
Greg Hall, owner of Used Kids Records in Columbus Ohio is involved in the theft of everything my brother and I owned from a Public Storage climate controlled unit in Worthington Ohio. Hall, along with several others entered the facility without any right or authorization to be there and removed our property from a unit in which I had paid nearly $18.000 in rental fees before selling our property online for thousands of dollars...
I'm including a link to the WSYX 6 news story about the theft that aired before the connection to Greg Hall and Used Kids Records was made...

New additions to the collection
https://redd.it/1b6jjp7
@r_vinyl
Maybe I’m being emotional but it’s so nice to see the word ‘record’ being used more frequently recently
I think I should start this with making it clear, I’m 50 and love the fact there’s a resurgence in records on vinyl and that new people are getting into it.
Maybe it’s the fault of an industry, social media or whatever but it seems we got into a strange area of the term of collecting ‘vinyl’ or worse, ‘vinyls’
So it’s lovely to see ‘records’ being used more recently. After all, these are recordings (kept as records) that are pressed to a certain media. Meaning that as Record Collectors we have the opportunity of collecting to vinyl, tape, cd and many other media’s.
I would love to find the ‘old language’ or records be passed on to newer generations (remember, I’m old)
So a reminder:
Records: music, spoken word, field recordings that are pressed and recorded to media.
Albums: strictly a collection of records put in an album (literally like a photo album). How vinyl records were first pressed due to the time limitations of 78rpm but can be known as a collection of songs on a longer playing medium.
Single: Single song pressed on media, often with a b-side or other bonus tracks. Yes, you get cassette and cd singles. There’s actually time limits in the uk that a single has to come into to be allowed into the singles chart which was governed by the amount of space on a typical 45rpm 7inch vinyl record
EP: Extended Play. This could be, in vinyl pressing terms, be a record that could be on a 7inch single with the grooves being pressed closer together to create a longer playing time and often give 2 or more songs a side. These EPs would often still qualify for the charts with the lead song being the ‘single’. What’s now more known as a mini album maybe.
LP: Long Player. What most of us now refer to as ‘albums’ but truly is one record with a longer recording time than a single or ep, therefore pressed to a bigger piece of vinyl or tape etc. Double albums being 2 long players. A little confusing these days with 1 LP being pressed to 2 LPs which is often better for quality but the truth is you’re getting 1 LP on 2 pieces of vinyl.
I think I’ve gone on long enough now but I do love the history of language in the music media world and love to see it coming back, it’s fascinating and goes back over a hundred years.
I guess some of it may seem cringey but as a last note, let’s not forget that DJ means ‘disc jockey’. Kinda funny to think of ‘disc jockey Khaled’.
Another one.

What are your favourite late night albums?
Im getting ready for bed and im realising i dont have a ton to listen to when it comes to calming down for the night. I’ve got a pretty wide range of music in my collection at the moment ranging from punk to pop to classical so im open to most things (i think). What do you guys like to put on at the end of the night before bed?
Edit: theres a ton of recommendations here and they’re still coming. Thanks so much! Gonna take the time to properly listen and respond tomorrow cause its already late

Has anyone opened a record store?
I had a few very long friendly conversations with the owner/founder of reef records in Antioch Illinois who was setting the business up for his daughter to run, as he was an inspector of some kind with a full-time gig. He met with a fellow from Chicago who gave him the whole Lowdown on how to run a record store before he ever embarked on the journey. I would reach out to him but chances are good that he will not remember me, it was 4 years ago and I moved thousands of miles away.
I'm in a location that I believe would work well, but I know nothing about how much it costs to start and if I will need to partner up with someone who has stock. Any info would be great.
