Good morning, Chattanooga!
Vinyls were a bit before my time, but they are for sure making a comeback.
A few months ago, I found myself in one of my friend’s apartments, trying out her record player, wholly fascinated watching the disc spin as music filled the small space.
Vinyl records sales hit records (pun intended) in 2021. In August of 2020, Ben Vanderhart opened Yellow Racket Records, on West Main Street in Chattanooga. The shop sells newly pressed vinyl records.
“You can buy previously loved records at McKay or at an antique mall, but even there finding the really good ones can be hard because people tend to keep the ones they like,” he said.
