261. The Music Exchange

We decided to support the project because as an independent record store, we feel it is important to support other independent projects, and both the film and record stores are great passions of ours. The first record that our store sold 2 years ago was a Teardrop Explosions 7″ “Reward” sold for £2, while the more recent record sold this weekend was the Lindstrom Lp “Where You Go I Go Too”. Our website is http://www.themusicexchange.org.uk.

We found out about the film when someone came in to the shop and was talking about it, and we decided to find out more.

Synopsis

Glimmer Films in association with Sideshow present a film by Jeanie Finlay; SOUND IT OUT.

Over the last five years an independent record shop has closed in the UK every three days.

SOUND IT OUT is a documentary portrait of the very last surviving vinyl record shop in Teesside, North East England.

A cultural haven in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, SOUND IT OUT documents a place that is thriving against the odds and the local community that keeps it alive. Directed by Jeanie Finlay who grew up three miles from the shop.

A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives.

High Fidelity with a Northern Accent.
