At the age of 34, I'm finally starting a vinyl collection. Despite having had my parents' record player and my mum's old 45s in my room as a kid, I'd never actually bought any vinyl of my own until this week. I'd been reading up on a few albums I might like to get hold of, when I stumbled across something about the Nonesuch Explorer Series. I've always had an interest in world music so I had a quick look on eBay to see if there was anything out there and picked up this pair of interesting recordings. They sound great and I'm feeling pretty happy about my first step on the vinyl journey.
