VARIETY: “Poignant insights…Much to enjoy”

July 6th, 2011 | Published in Reviews

“Anyone who misspent their youth loitering in record stores will find much to enjoy in this affectionate docu tribute to Sound It Out Records, the only independent music outlet in the north of England. Wryly philosophical staff and overwhelmingly male customers at the titular shop provide an entertaining focus for this crowd-funded labor of love.”

Charles Gant. June 2011

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.
