Listening notes

Released in 2014 on Stones Throw Records (catalog number STH2341), Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton (This Is Stones Throw Records) is a companion release to the documentary of the same name, arriving in a Blu-ray and CD package. The Blu-ray contains the documentary itself, running at 93 minutes. The accompanying CD functions as a soundtrack, comprising 26 tracks that draw on the label's catalog across a notably wide range of genres — hip hop, funk, soul, jazz, electronic, experimental, and rock among them, a breadth that reflects the eclectic output Stones Throw built its reputation on.

The CD tracklist mixes titled songs with untitled cue tracks, suggesting material composed or assembled specifically for the film alongside recordings that would be familiar to followers of the label. Titles such as "All Caps," "I Need A Dollar (Live In Studio)," "Don't Go Swag (Live)," and "Legends (Remix)" appear alongside instrumental pieces, original score cues, and tracks spanning the label's range. The presence of live and remix designations on several tracks indicates that some material was recorded or reworked specifically for this release, though further details about personnel and recording circumstances are not confirmed here and should be verified before publication.

The catalog number STH2341 places this squarely within the standard Stones Throw numbering system. The format — Blu-ray and CD together — positions the package as a document of the label's history rather than a standalone music release, with the film as the primary artifact and the CD providing supplementary listening material. Given the genre tags attached to this release, collectors and researchers interested in the independent hip hop and left-field soul scenes of the 2000s and early 2010s may find the soundtrack disc a useful index of the label's range.
