The Totally Awesome 80’s stand-alone editions adds new mechanics to the base Vinyl experience. The Trade Action is available at the Front Counter. The player may now trade unwanted or low-value records in to gain attributes that you may used to get a higher-valued album.

Collection rewards have been reduced to max out 4. The lower end will now be 2 albums in a small collection and this will increase the number of records that a player may retire during the game.

In addition, the Extended Play format and the Long Play format have been added as attributes and these albums can provide a bonus to your collections for end game scoring.
