Reclaiming the soul of Philadelphia, one record at a time. In this episode, we sit down with Rashied Amon, owner of a standout vinyl shop in Mount Airy, Philly. What started as a discovery of his father’s hidden DJ stash in a grandmother’s attic turned into a mission to preserve and celebrate the rich legacy of Black music.
From thrift store hunting across the country to amassing a curated collection of over 8,000 vintage albums, Rashied shares the highs and lows of running a niche record store in today's vinyl resurgence.
In this video, we explore:
The "Attic Find": How a family legacy sparked a business.
Preserving the Culture: The importance of reclaiming vintage R&B, Soul, Funk, and Jazz.
Philly’s Vinyl Scene: Navigating the neighborhood-centric world of record collecting.
The Business of Vinyl: What it takes to stand out in a digital world.
