00:00It's April and that can only mean one thing for music fans,
00:02Record Store Day is around the corner and we're here in Lyon at one of our favorite music stores
00:08to talk to the owners about what it takes to put on Record Store Day,
00:12what it means to them and the potential challenges facing the industry right now.
00:16Let's go.
00:22Well, it's a lot of work but it's also a lot of pleasure because we don't do any commercial operations
00:27all over the year
00:28and it's an opportunity for us to have a beautiful opportunity, a beautiful commercial opportunity
00:34since this year there will still be 400 collectors available
00:37and it allows us to know with clients, people who are fans or pro-fans
00:42who would not be able to go to the store if there was not a collector of their favorite artist
00:47or group.
00:53We're used to say that we have clients from 7 to 77 years old.
00:57It's true.
00:57Which is not at all the case, but this year we will have, for example,
01:01two examples of collectors.
01:03We will have a 45 tours Taylor Swift.
01:05So here we are on a range between 15, 16, 17, 20.
01:09And we will also have a quadruple vinyl of Pink Floyd.
01:13So here we are,
01:16without wanting to know who you are to be able to propose,
01:18but we are more on a range of high scale in terms of age.
01:28It has always impact.
01:30No matter what happens in the world, it has always impact.
01:33It has an impact on the price and the way people consume the vinyl.
01:41It is impressive.
01:44But with the arrival of the war in Ukraine,
01:47we have had an augmentation since the oil price is often indexed on the price of gas.
01:54We have had, from 2022, an increase in the price of purchase,
01:58which has resulted in the price of sale.
02:01Today, with the war in Iran,
02:03we have not yet had any counter-coups,
02:06but we hope that the war will not continue
02:08to recognize an inflation which is actually prejudicial to our activities.
02:17What do you think of this?
02:20I'm a generation who has known the 70s and 80s in terms of group.
02:25It's a group irlandain that I affectionate
02:26since the end of the 70s.
02:29It's called Finn Lizzie, the Finn Elizabeth.
02:31It's a group that has marked a bit of the esprit
02:34by its leader who was a real singer,
02:38a bassist.
02:39There, it comes out a live,
02:40a new live,
02:41and it's always an emotion to see this person.
02:46Every time it makes me cry,
02:48I'm sorry to talk about it,
02:49but I hope that...
02:50You can come back to the record store day,
02:52I'll have my bag of clothes next to me.
02:55Pareil,
02:55it's a bit Madeleine de Proust,
02:58having lived my childhood in the 2000s.
03:01I especially attend the vinyl
03:04of the live Madison Square Garden
03:08of Fallot Boy.
03:09Entre autres,
03:10there are many others,
03:11but...
03:13the consistencies in this award.
