Lost RPM Podcast Episode 1: Intro

Lost RPM Podcast Episode 1: Intro

Welcome to the world of outsider records. The selections on this pilot episode are meant to introduce listeners to the lesser-explored world of obscure "real people" LPs & 45s found in thrift stores, junk shops, and record store clearance bins. The only catch? They have to sound good. In other words, these are lost & forgotten records that were not appreciated upon their release, but hopefully will be now.
