About us
Founded and launched December 2020, a music platform connecting melody lovers to their favorites artists. Founded by musicians and professional marketers George JoJo Baghdassarian and Rob Steven Williams, B Side Vinyl has set itself apart from average record stores by working directly with artists, bands, and labels on strategic social media contests, live broadcasts, and record sales. #puttheneedleontherecord
Our B Side Vinyl dream started in 2020
Circa 1994! Our retail Record Shop was established in the Media Capital of the World; Burbank, California – and we closed the doors in 2016. The legacy continues on BSideVinyl.com (live broadcasts and pop-up events will unfold strategically).
