In this episode of Vinyl Vibes, Jack is joined by Mitchel Eaton, owner of Newcastle's own Hiss And Crackle Records. In recent years, vinyl records have seen a resurgence, leading to a big return of the local record shop.  Owner of Hiss and Crackle, Mitch got into music at a young age listening to his dad's music such Jimi Hendrix and Tamam Shud. Mitch has been a part of the music sales industry for most of his life, working at JB HI-FI for 18 years. Mitch decided to take the leap and open his own record store in May 2019. The store has become an important part of the vinyl record and music scene in Newcastle.

Jack phoned Mitch to talk about his early music beginnings with artists like Jimi Hendrix, his time at JB HI-FI, why young people are connecting with vinyl so much, the return of independent local record stores, vinyl turntables, how to look after your vinyl, how the store came to be, the reasons why CDs are not doing as well as vinyl now, The Rolling Stones recent album, the local Newcastle music scene, his tips on how to be a successful local band in Newcastle, and what's next for the store. 

"I think with the independence side of it, you get to craft your own store, so it's like an extension of yourself." - Mitchel Eaton on this episode of vinyl vibes discussing the benefits of independent local record store.
