About this product

Product Information

Not too far away from the flea markets, dusty attics, cluttered used record stores and Ebay is the world of the vinyl junkies. Brett Milano dives deep into the piles of old vinyl to uncover the subculture of record collecting. A vinyl junkie is not the person who has a few old 45s shoved in the cuboard from their days in high school. Vinyl Junkies are the people who will travel over 3,000 miles to hear a rare b-side by a German band that has only recorded two songs since 1962, vinyl junkies are the people who own every copy of every record produced by the favorite artist from every pressing and printing in existance, vinyl junkies are the people who may just love that black plastic more than anything else in their lives. Brett Milano traveled the U.S. seeking out the most die-hard and fanatical collectors to capture all that it means to be a vinyl junkie. Includes interviews with Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Peter Buck from R.E.M and Robert Crumb, creator of Fritz the cat and many more underground comics.

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Record Collecting is a Passionate Hobby

    This is an amazing book that really gets the feel of record collecting. Personally, I have been collecting records since 1957 when I got my first 45 rpm at age nine. Now my collection numbers over 100,000 LPs and 45s, so I feel comfortable in commenting. This book points out the variety available to collectors, such as R. Crumb's passion for 78s. It's right on every point, such as most record collectors are male. Rarely does any author 'get it right' but this one does. Highly recommend for any record collector. It's fun to read!

  • An essential read for a vinyl junkie trying to get a grasp of his condition

    If your vinyl collection crossed the threshold of a few thousand discs, read this book. It will soothe your soul. It will aslo provide a comfort of knowing that you are not alone in this sweet addiction. :)
