The Collection – Ep. 89: January 2026 Wrap-Up

2026 is upon us and we are already closing out the first month. It is time for our January 2026 Wrap Up so lets see what 2 Loud 2 Old Music added to the collection this month. Despite all the snow we picked up here in Charlotte, we also picked up a bunch of a whole of CDs and even a few vinyl. This month I didn’t actually get to hit a record store, but I did order from Discogs, Facebook and Amazon and most of this was from Christmas Gift Cards or ad money from the site. Gotta love that!! So much to go through including a handful of new Rock Candy CDs in the collection, one Kiss item and a few Box Sets plus a selection of items that are new releases. Lots of great new and old stuff to go through and show for this month so I hope you enjoy the show!!

So go check it out as it is live right now on YouTube. Thanks for stopping by and please click “Like” and hit “Subscribe” as it helps out the site when you do.

And the whole set for those that won’t watch videos…
