Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 contains 33 Music Records required for the trophy/achievement Connoisseur. Records are found throughout the game world as pickups or awarded after some fights/story sequences, which then allows you to listen to music by interacting with the gramophone at Camp.
Records can be picked up at any time as long as you have advanced the story to the area where they are located, with the exception of two MISSABLE Records acquired from a fight and an optional Camp interaction. There are currently 34 Records in the game due to one record having a duplicate pickup, so you can miss one of the two missable Records and still obtain the trophy (or obtain it before picking up all unique Records) but if you miss both you cannot about the trophy/achievement for 33 Records in the current playthrough.
MISSABLE WARNING: The first pickup of the record Lumiere and the record Lettre a Maelle are both from specific interactions, and are missed if you progress past the point in the game where they can be obtained.
Lumire: Prologue Part 1 Mime
In the first section of the Prologue you can fight an optional Mime enemy at the far end of the area to the right of the stairs with the progression dialogue. Beating the Mime is required to earn the trophy/achievement A Peculiar Encounter, along with awarding this record.
Lettre a Maelle: Act 2 Camp Interaction
During Act 2 of the story there is a missable optional Camp interaction where Verso and Maelle play piano. This becomes available after defeating the first of the two Axons. You must complete this interaction before the end of Act 2 (finishing Inside the Monolith area) or it is no longer available, making the record missable.
