There are numerous kinds of record lovers — collectors or “diggers” as we refer to them — around the world and they each have their own way of finding various kinds of music. We refer to them as “diggers,” but this time, we’re highlighting a slightly different record collector from Daejeon, South Korea. With a […]
With great risk comes great reward. When Paolo Annicchiarico, AKA ocasomarino, left his home country with the only goal of getting into some heavy record digging, he found enough albums and stories to last a lifetime. Luckily for Discogs, as he’s devoted much of his time to submitting a considerable amount of these records and […]
