When two friends and I launched Paste Magazine in 2002, I couldn’t imagine Paste would still be going strong two decades later. Each issue of those old print magazines came with a CD sampler of some of our favorite songs. So what better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary than a vinyl sampler featuring some of our favorite tracks we’ve recorded at the Paste Studio.
The album features 10 of the thousands of tracks recorded at the Paste Studio and was pressed by our friends (and Paste alum) at Gold Rush Vinyl and was designed by Josh Jackson (no, not me, but my talented nephew who shares my name). You can explore our full catalog of recordings on the Paste YouTube channel.
