Hi Everyone,

2021 has been another challenging year on the pandemic and supply chain front and the struggle is still very real for all of us. However, despite all of that, 2021 has also been a year of hope and success stories. At times it has been incredibly stressful and frustrating for us all to get records into the stores and onto the shelves, but it has also been exciting to watch the growth of vinyl continue and to see new collectors being created every day. For some of us out there in the retail sphere, things are heating up right about now. For others, their work is mostly done for now and things are finally settling down a bit. Whichever camp you fall into, thanks for being a part of all of this. I wish you all a healthy and happy holiday. Here is to a strong step forward in 2022!

It is also that time where the CIMS/ThinkIndie crew rounds up some of the music that got us through this year. Here are our lists… Enjoy!

Andrea
