For The Record, The Best Sounds

When 1980s rock band Europe decided to re-release their classic hit as ‘The Vinyl Countdown’, fans were amused and intrigued. In a delightfully retro twist, the iconic synth intro crackles with nostalgic pops and hisses of vinyl records. The music video showcases the band in a record store, dramatically flipping through albums in slow motion, hair blowing theatrically in an inexplicable indoor breeze. The song’s urgent energy now humorously hints at the frantic race to find that last elusive LP before the digital age takes over. ‘Is this pressing limited?’ fans cry, echoing the new battle anthem for audiophiles everywhere.
