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.
