Vinyl Junkies

As a bit of  a vinyl junkie and having up to 2000 records when i was living in Brighton (much much less now)  this picture gallery from Eilon Paz's photgraphs of vinyl junkies is  a wet dream to me.

Here is a smple -



Gilles Peterson, DJ and broadcaster

‘Gilles was my holy grail when it came to collecting record collectors,’ explains photographer Eilon Paz. ‘I learned so much from his radio show and his compilations. He was like a mentor to me. I was chasing him for a long time before he agreed to the interview. It’s always nice when you ask someone about their influential records and, rather than picking something obscure, they choose something solid like Earth, Wind & Fire.’/ Oh yes great funky soul say!

OMG, vinyl!! How I miss it!

I had that EW&F album as a kid. Nowhere near 2,000, but I had a pretty substantial collection (ALL my money as a kid/teenager went to record stores lol). Then I got married and moved out and my mom got rid of nearly every last album/EP/45. Sigh.

I still have the vinyl but no turntable. So, whether I need a pick-me-up or I feel like dancing or I just wanna take a trip down Nostalgia Row, I play the cd on my Bose. EW&F are featured players on the soundtrack of my youth.

Loved that! Thank you for sharing. I have my own collection, but nothing like any of those.
