Twenty-twenty-one is definitely a banner year for Vicor Records' classic vinyl reissues. Whether or not it has something to do with the overstaying pandemic, this year saw OPM aficionados reconnect with vinyl once more. The bottom line is, the phenomenon is a testament that the vinyl record format is again the No. 1 physical music format of choice for music listeners after many long decades.

It was no surprise that Vicor, with its steep listing of OPM hits, has reissued its catalog of hit albums on vinyl. Once hard-to-find records such as 'Segreto' by the late Ric Segreto (whose stocks sold out twice), 'VST & Company I,' Rico J. Puno's 'The Way We Were,' Rey Valera, Martin Nievera, Freddie Aguilar's 'Anak,' and Sharon Cuneta's 'Mr. DJ' albums are back in circulation.
