About this listen
Some collectors chase hype — others chase history.
In this episode of Pressed, I’m joined by Smitty from Smitty Soul Shack — a lifelong R&B, jazz, and soul collector — to talk about why classic records still move us in ways modern music can’t.
We dig into:
How his grandfather’s jazz collection sparked a lifelong passion 🎷
Why soul and R&B hit differently (hint: it’s the church roots)
The magic of bargain-bin finds and crate-digging stories
How vinyl collecting has changed — the good and the bad
The story behind a mysterious Stevie Wonder note that might involve soul legend Melba Moore 👀
Tips for new collectors, and why the secret to enjoying vinyl is simply playing the record
👉 What’s a classic record that still gives you chills every time you play it? Drop it in the comments — and don’t forget to check out Smitty’s podcast, Music is the Glue.
