They share how they prioritize the aesthetic and design of their releases, including the decision to press the compilation to black vinyl to complement the artwork. The conversation takes an exciting turn as the host discovers that one of Winspear's releases, the Lafayette EP by Major Murphy, holds personal significance to him. We delve into the history of Winspear Records, which dates back to 2015, and explore the label's guiding principles and curatorial process. The label's meticulous art direction and overall aesthetic are a deliberate choice, reflecting their commitment to high-quality design. We also touch on the financial aspects of the label's business model and how the pandemic affected their operations.
