Record store Rejects…Do you blame them?
Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon or The Tri-City All Conference High School Marching Band Finals (1973). Both got pressed the same year, but one has perennial value - even more popular today then in '73, while the other… not so much. Record shops cannot buy a record with no resale value. After a year on FB Marketplace and Craigslist the children who inherited the 'other' record from their tuba playing Dad throw it away along with his other unwanted records.
Earth’s cholesterol…
The Bad kind.
It is estimated that Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) takes upwards of 1000 years to decompose underground. As vinyl popularity continues to surge these unwanted records get marginalized and discarded. The unintended consequence of this is the clogging of our already fragile ecosystem with black cholesterol - Afterall, PVC is a petroleum by-product… like oil.
Making stuff that makes a difference.
Records become unmarketable when Artists fall out of favor, the music Genre become obsolete or the Vinyl itself is damaged and unlistenable. Left with just its physical-ness, the TVRP team repurposes them for a new life... a new life with you. A percentage of your purchase is donated to the indie record shop of your choosing while keeping the polluting PVC out of the Earth.
