El Guapo Records | Ian Power Music ep 14 - Kiepersol Texas Podcast

El Guapo Records located in the same building as Alex & Afton Vintedge in Tyler, Texas has some of the best vinyl, 8-track and cassettes in East Texas! Ian Power has been running the shop since November 2018, loves listening to music, however, he is a local East Texas Musician.

Ian talks about the resurgence in the vinyl industry and how this medium of listening to music has become quite popular again, especially in the younger generations. Some Indie bands have released new music straight to cassette or vinyl because there is nothing like the sound you get going to those vintage mediums of music. With digital downloads, CDs are almost unthought of any more. Which has created a nostalgia and appreciate for Vinyl once again. There is something special about getting newly pressed or old vinyl records because they often come with pictographs or booklets that tell more of the story the musicians intended.

Ian Power likes most music, however, he is a big fan of 60's and 70's psych rock, which you can see a lot of in his collection at the shop. Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Dr. John & the Nite Trippers, The Grateful Dead and some other weirder, but awesome bands as you go more into it! El Guapo has a lot of classics as well such as Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, David Bowie and just about every genre of music, including movie soundtracks on vinyl.

El Guapo Records sells turntables, amps, vintage systems that will allow you to listen to these records or even your collection that might need a little dust wiped off! Not to mention local artist's CDs, El Guapo Records swag and other great merch as well! Whether you like vintage clothing or old vinyl, this is a one-stop opportunity!
