Night Beat Rewind: September 2018

Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine....Is now over. The eligibility year that was #PlatVnyl9 is now over, closed, kaput. It is hard to believe that it has been almost ten years since I started all this. Actually the official start of this incarnation of The Night Beat is 07/08/10, so we've got about 2 years to get a party organized. The first Platinum Vinyl Award Year was backdated for October 1, 2009 until September 30, 2010. Anyway, let's get it started.
