- Do you still crave that warm, analog sound of vinyl? If you still have that turntable set to 33 1/3 RPM, Disney Music Emporium will have some Inside Out vinyl records for you this weekend. If you have no idea what a vinyl record is, ask your parents/grandparents. And for those of you thinking these look familiar – they were a Mondo San Diego Comic-Con release in 2016. So grab them now without the crazy line!
