UKI funded the project as for most of my life vinyl I have treasured. My first single was the sugar hill gang – rappers delight when I was only 7yrs old. From there I collected a wide range of vinyl from different genres. I relate to the project as vinyl holds memories. It has something special that goes along side music it holds in its grooves. The memory of the song is matched with the crackle when you play vinyl. I can remember when scratches occured on the vinyl I possess and the parties that they have attended. The introduction for the film brought back my enthusiasm for vinyl especially seen as during the clip I saw a record that I would like!
The last records I purchased was Logical Progressions by LTJ Bukem, Black board jungle part 2 by Lee Scratch Perry among others. I rarely bought a single record at a time.
Unfortunately with a growing family and little space the dj decks had to eventually go. My wife purchased a single deck record player for me for our anniversary this year so all my carefully stored vinyl has been making a welcome comeback!
