Visual artist and music enthusiast Kosmo Vinyl bought his first LP when he was nine. He spent the next several decades immersed in music and began his professional career at London’s pioneering indie label Stiff Records. Vinyl started working exclusively with The Clash in 1979 and stayed by their side until the punk icons disbanded in 1986.
Over the years, Vinyl’s record collection became legendary, and in 2014, he began posting about his favorite releases on social media for his series, “Kosmo’s Vinyl of the Week.”
