Music is how Singaporean vinyl enthusiast CK Teo bonds with his loved ones – the old-school way.

For audiophiles, there is little else that can compare with the rich sound quality of vinyl discs when it comes to enjoying music recordings.“I don’t think vinyl is dead – it has never been. There are still people who love the magic behind the analogue sound,” said entrepreneur CK Teo, who has amassed a collection of over 8,000 vinyl records over the past decade.

“A little dream I had when I was younger was having a record room of my own with a ladder that I can climb up to access my records. At that time, I did not have enough money to buy records but I knew that one day, I would want to go into vinyl records,” he said. “The amazing thing about John Peel is that he did not just play mainstream music, he really got listeners to explore obscure music too,” said Teo.

Yet, despite owning a wide range of music, he still considers his most precious vinyls the ones that are closely tied to memories of his youth. “I do not just look for vinyls with music or artwork that I love but also for those that evoke a strong sentimental reaction,” he said. “When I buy a record, sometimes the music itself brings back a lot of memories from important parts of my life. That is why I would call them my babies.
