From the first time a record was pressed back in 1894, people have been fascinated with the black spinning disks that elevate our mood at parties, get us through rough patches in our relationships, and provide the background music to our daily routines. Record collectors - once thought to be the denizens of flea markets and garage sales - have been elevated to icon status through book and films like High Fidelity, Ghost World, and now Vinyl Junkies. Brett Milano dives deep into the piles of old vinyl, crowded closets, stuffed-to-the-rafters warehouses, and even his own stack of 33s and 45s to be the first to uncover the allure, the attraction, and sometimes the insanity that is all part of record collecting. Join Milano as he travels across the United States to the hot spots of collecting and the homes of collectors as he lifts the veil of their beloved hobby.
