Dr Doom SUBS ● 5th Apr 2018		Rated 9/10 With all the hype of a 'vinyl revival' there have been a great many books published about record collecting and record shops over the last 5 years and I think this is one of the best. The writer originally planned to do a book about record collectors in general but when she started doing research interviews she soon discovered that in many respects 78s collectors are 'next level' and decided to just focus on them. The level of passion and determination among the collectors she encounters is incredible. I think the book also benefits from being penned by a female entering a 99% male world of obsession. She manages to get caught up in the excitement of discovering long lost early century blues and esoteric music whilst remaining a sense of being an outside observer. A recommended read for anyone who has ever wondered if their collecting habit has ever strayed into the realm of being slightly unhealthy! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
