"Rising Oil Prices Threaten Vinyl Record Costs, Industry Experts Warn: In September 2026, the price of a barrel of crude oil has climbed to roughly $110, a level that could push the cost of vinyl records higher. The link between oil prices and vinyl production dates back to the 1973 oil crisis, when a sudden quadrupling of oil prices forced record manufacturers to cut costs, resulting in thinner, lower‑quality discs. …The embargo lifted in March 1974, but the price of oil had risen from about $3 to nearly $12 per barrel, a 300 % increase. The spike triggered inflation, a shift to fuel‑efficient vehicles, and a significant impact on the recorded‑music industry. Vinyl records, made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a petrochemical by‑product of crude oil, became more expensive to produce."

"Ville Platte, LA | Would Floyd Soileau have made Louisiana music history if he hadn’t messed up his gig as a DJ? “Ask him,” Todd Ortego prompted. Ask him what? “Ask Floyd about the time he played the wrong record,” he said. Ortego is already laughing on this August afternoon visit with Floyd Soileau as Soileau prepares to tell the story of how he started out as a disc jockey at KVPI-AM in his hometown of Ville Platte before opening a record shop in 1956. …It’s where he produced recordings of Louisiana artists, some of whom made it into Billboard magazine’s top 20. But it was a wrong record on the turntable at KVPI that set him on the recording path. Those were the days before vinyl gave way to CDs, which were finally overtaken by digital formats—the days when cover art was as important to the album as the music itself."
