About this episode
This week, Al visits John Thompson, owner of The Record Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. John traded the grueling heat of a paper mill for the warm crackle of vinyl.
In 2011, John bought The Record Centre from a friend—starting with just six bins of records in the back of a video store. He has turned it into a thriving destination that's part record store, part vintage audio showroom, part concert venue, and part record label.
This is John’s story.
