The holiday season is only a few weeks away. Before you rush off to pick up some presents, make sure to check out Exclaim!'s Holiday Gift Guide, which we will be rolling out in daily instalments this month.
Earlier this week, we kicked things off by showcasing some of the year's best box sets. Today, we're going all analog; here are some vinyl reissues that will make great gifts for the record collector in your life.
