Why Add These Records to Your Vinyl Collection?

This is the first real summer we’re getting post-pandemic. No masks, no lockdowns—just music, freedom, and the smell of fresh vinyl.
So why not celebrate by expanding your collection of music vinyls?

Some of these might even become tomorrow’s most valuable vinyls—the ones that go out of print fast and are hunted down in record fairs a decade from now.

And if you're ready to rotate out some older titles, don’t hesitate to sell vinyl records you no longer play and buy and sell vinyl records through trusted collector groups. It’s a great way to keep your shelf fresh.

Best Way to Store LP Records? Style + Function

Loving your records also means storing them properly. Here's what we recommend:

  • Solid Wood Vinyl Crate: Holds up to 80 LPs. Durable, timeless, and great for digging through your collection like a record store.
  • Now Playing Display Shelf: Stores 70 LPs and highlights your current spin. Perfect for giving your space a cool, lived-in vibe.

Both options are ideal for those who value the best way to store LP records without sacrificing style.

Let This Summer Soundtrack Be the Start of Something New

Whether you’re heading to work or heading to a festival, these 15 new vinyl releases are here to amplify your summer. Get lost in lyrics, dance in your room, or vibe out while driving with the windows down. The important thing is to listen—and share.

So press play, spin your favorite new album, and if you're feeling generous, sell vinyl records that deserve a second life in someone else’s collection.

From all of us at KTS:
Thanks for spinning with us. Keep growing your collection, one track at a time.
