The Vinyl Countdown is the fourth EP by Christian rock band Relient K released exclusively on 7" vinyl record on Mono Vs Stereo Records. It was released in 2003, a few months after the band's third full-length album, Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do was released. The Vinyl Countdown was followed a few months later by the band's Christmas CD, Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand, giving the band three releases in one year. As part of a promotion for a fan to get his or her name on the cover, the album cover says "Here's to Jesse Alkire" in the bottom left corner.
