If there's one good thing that the lockdown has given us, it's seemingly more hours in one day. People now have added time to pursue interests at home that they might not have been able to earlier, given that the daily rigmarole of commuting, working and socialising is out of the window. This holds true for vinyl enthusiasts, too. The very act of listening to a record is incongruent to the click-bait ethos of the entertainment world right now. You have choose what you want to listen to, carefully take the vinyl out of its sleeve, and clean it gently with a solution before finally sitting back after the record starts to spin once the stylus is in place. It isn't about simply pressing the play button, in that sense."

But the whole process demands even more time from serious collectors. Roycin D'Souza is a photographer and DJ who has over 400 vinyls. He tells us that the lockdown gave him the leisure to revisit his stock and bring a sense of order into the way they are stored. "I would earlier keep them randomly in boxes in different areas of the house But I have now merged them all, and segregated them into different sections, because I had the time to pinpoint which record is kept where so that I can pull one out when I want to. This period has basically given me a deeper understanding of what I have," he says.
