Sorum commented:

“I never went into that night thinking we were making a record. I originally had the show recorded and filmed because I wanted to preserve the experience for myself. But when I listened back, I realized we had captured something truly magical — the energy in the room, the performances, and the spirit of all these incredible artists coming together for the kids. Through Experience Vinyl, we had an opportunity to turn that moment into something people could hold on to while raising meaningful support for music education.”

He also added:

“Every artist who stepped onto that stage understood why we were there. “We came together to celebrate two legends, but the real encore is every child who discovers music because of this record.”
