Opinion: PRP’s Best of 2024 (Staff Picks)
Our list of stellar albums from 2024!
By Julia Girdharry
What a remarkable year it’s been! As we look forward to the future, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible milestones we’ve witnessed in the vinyl industry this year.
From pressing millions of records to keeping countless discs out of landfills with our Eco Mix records, we’ve made a significant impact this year. We also introduced Pastel, our first premium color collection, which has been warmly embraced by artists and fans alike.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible team, who work tirelessly to bridge the gap between artists and their audiences. To celebrate their efforts, here’s a look back at some of our favorite records that kept the office spinning this year.
