On this episode of Goldmine's Record Shop Talk, editor Patrick Prince (the Gen X record collector) and Luna Record Shop's Holden Russiano (Gen Z record collector) talk about the recent reports on the vinyl format's 19th consecutive year of growth. Put an exclamation mark at the end of this one, listeners: In 2025, U.S. vinyl record sales surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time since 1983! Yet that only takes into account the sales of newly pressed vinyl records, not used vinyl. The hosts debate the possible sales numbers for untracked used vinyl records. Then they discuss grading techniques and Taylor Swift as the definitive vinyl-format savior, among other things. Listen in!

Hosts Patrick Prince (Goldmine editor) and Holden Russiano (Luna Record Shop) talk about creating a Progressive Rock sub-genre category in the record store racks: "Prog 2.0." Why not? As prog transitioned from the '70s to the '80s, it became more commercially accessible and, dare we say, catchy. Should there be a section dedicated to just that? (And author Martin Popoff did a Top 20 Prog 2.0 for the Goldmine website to guide us!)
Listen in — it's like hanging out in a record store and talking shop!

Recently, Thompson Twins released the set called Industry & Seduction, a career-spanning collection from the band’s early days as a post-punk band to their '80s global hitmakers with huge songs like "Hold Me Now" and others.
The set covers every era of band members Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie’s music, including the electronic experimentation of their 1990s group called Babble.
Bailey not only talks to us about this newly remastered deluxe set (in 3-CD or 2-LP), but also about his entire career — and if there will be a reunion of the core Twins — Alannah Currie, Joe Leeway and himself.

This episode of the Goldmine Podcast's "Record Shop Talk" will center on prog rock and, by chance, a little-known British band from the early 1980s called Zed (whose debut 1981 LP was found by the staff in a budget bin for only a few bucks).
Besides wondering about the aforementioned band's brief place in rock history, where does "prog rock" specifically fit in a record shop? In other words, should it have its own record section or bin? Is it a genre that is really that easy to define? Goldmine's editor, Patrick Prince, and Luna Record Shop employee Holden Russiano attempt to get to the root of these questions as two music enthusiasts who have never collected rock records with the term "prog" in mind.
