Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: No Agenda, Just Records

The conversation keeps spinning after Surface Noise as the crew throws the agenda out the window for another freestylin' edition of BONUS TRAX.

This time, it’s all about the records. The guys dig into recent pickups, rare 45s, albums desperately in need of a proper reissue, and the patience and perseverance it sometimes takes to finally land that elusive record. Along the way, the Beatles inevitably invade the conversation, Fleetwood Mac, Fanny and fusion enter the reissue discussion, and some decidedly unusual additions to the collection make an appearance.

Then it’s time for a little record-store road trip as Chance and Arnaldo compare notes from recent digging in Florida, including stops in Tampa, Orlando and Daytona Beach. From Foundation College Park and Park Ave CDs to the shops that delivered—and a few that definitely didn’t—the crew talks prices, inventory, grading, unexpected finds and the thrill of discovering something you weren’t even looking for.

Plus: bargain-bin “cheap heat,” Bobby Caldwell, Michael Henderson, jazz finds, condition upgrades, strange album covers, vintage T-shirts, listener comments and plenty of the usual detours that make BONUS TRAX what it is.

No agenda. No guardrails. Just record collectors talking records after the show of record has officially ended.
