March 26, 2021 09:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

Can't believe it's been 20 years since Train's DROPS OF JUPITER was released. No, MTV wasn't playing music back then, yet VH1 was. If you missed the Mobile Fidelity version, you can get Train's debut on vinyl this week. The ultimate classic reissue this week is Boston's self-titled debut.

New music on vinyl for January 29, 2021, perhaps starts and stops with the Korean pop girl group Blackpink and their new vinyl record called THE ALBUM.
