The Vinyl Souq Point of View
Vinyl records are not a nostalgic format. They are a better format for attentive listening. The physical ritual of taking a record from its sleeve, placing it on a turntable and listening from beginning to end — without shuffling, without distractions, without algorithms — is qualitatively different from streaming.
The Arab world's musical heritage — the recordings of Fairuz, Oum Kalthoum, Abdel Halim Hafez and the Gulf artists who followed them — sounds extraordinary on vinyl. That is worth preserving and sharing.
