Losing Your Record Collection

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, January 23, 2025 • Duration 31:23

In this poignant debut episode of For the Love of Vinyl, we explore the depths of what vinyl truly means to us through an unexpected and heartbreaking lens. When California wildfires recently devastated entire communities, music writer and editor Mark J. Marriccini lost his entire record collection—a collection that was more than just music, but a reflection of identity, history, and home.

Mark shares his emotional journey of loss and what his collection symbolized, from quirky bootlegs to cherished albums that shaped his life. Together, we uncover how records are more than objects; they’re portals to our memories, our passions, and our sense of belonging.

This episode wasn’t part of the plan, but Mark’s story reminds us that sometimes it’s in loss that we rediscover the profound love we have for the things that shape us.

Brought to you by A to Z Media, this is For the Love of Vinyl.
