Known music fanatic Jimmy Fallon trekked out to a record store on Long Island, NY this weekend to support vinyl on Record Store Day. While there he sat down with a WEHM radio broadcaster who was reporting live from the record shop.

Fallon shared his scores with the host, Anthony, from the outpost at the store in Amagansett, Long Island. Among them: Weezer’s Green Album, John Prine’s September 78 live album, Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Young Lovers, Willie Nelson’s Teatro, U2’s Songs of Innocence, Courtney Barnett’s “Kim’s Caravan” single, and his most prized find, The Side by Side colored vinyl with Syd Barrett and R.E.M. performing “Dark Globe”. 

He also urged young people to go out and buy turntables and listen to vinyl. “It’s fun, it’s a different sound,” he said. “It makes you appreciate … My kids right now, I’m gonna raise them on vinyl. You get to hold them, look at the pictures. And it’s a warmer sound. It’s just so much fun.”
