ABOUT VPS IDAHO: The Vinyl Preservation Society of Idaho is an independent social recreation enterprise dedicated to communal listening enjoyment.
VPS Idaho has three main charters: preservation, education and entertainment. By actively promoting the preservation of the vinyl record as a medium, VPS Idaho hopes to play a small part in ensuring the enduring presence and future vitality of this unique and culturally rich musical format. In its educational efforts, VPS Idaho hopes to increase the knowledge of group members as well as the general public in all matters related to analog musicology, from record production techniques and the performance and maintenance of associated electronics to the history of vinyl in Idaho and beyond. In pursuing its entertainment goals, VPS Idaho simply hopes to help existing vinyl aficionados discover and enjoy more music while cultivating a wider community of new listeners; in short, to keep the records spinning and the music alive.
Monthly meetings (held every fourth Wednesday of the month) include guest speakers and DJs, opportunities to buy, sell and trade vinyl and, of course, a chance to share some of your favorite albums with fellow music geeks and vinyl junkies. Membership is free and open to anyone who listens to music of any kind. While members and guests don’t have to own any vinyl, it is assumed they at least have an interest in and appreciation for vinyl as ONLY VINYL RECORDS WILL BE PLAYED AT MEETINGS.
