In this video, I wrap up the year by handing out completely unofficial (but very heartfelt) awards to the best vinyl records I picked up in 2025. All original pressings, all music I genuinely love, no fillers. To make things a bit more fun, I’ve turned it into an award show, complete with nominees, drum rolls and winners.
