we have a glow in the dark pitch disc
version of the music from ghostbusters
you put it on and turn the lights out
and the go swells around is amazing
it got played maybe five or six times a
day and I got sick of it so I hit it and
for about the last maybe 20 years I've
been trying to find out where I have it
because now I really wants it
we are in the basement at the British
Library I was kind of shown it that a
year ago and immediately kind of fell in
love with it and wanted to live here and
if ever there's kind of a nuclear war or
something similar
I'm coming here with like a little
portable record deck this is Andy who
runs this crib this is kind of your
collection and sense in there and II
kind of acquires it all the Mexican
Revolution took at those dudes there's a
kid like the house has kind of sort of
built slightly on records like the walls
do actually look like they're made of
records and they've always just been
around me all the time they pose some
deep psychological issue with it but I
did find something comforting and just
been surrounded by it I'm quite a real
example because I never really used to
be in smile when I was younger I was
ever really a betaine and then I started
work with Giles Peterson you know he's
shown me the stuff that's like really
rare and telling me the storyline
realizing that in the past I had
probably had records that were now where
but I didn't really care about him put
it under my bed at my mom's house or
something like that
scratched out things like the vinyl
records at our house when you pull them
out like there's a letter in it saying
put it back dad and we keep finding
notes the first ones I bought for myself
would have been like the color early 90s
during the sort of rave scene we
listened to kind of take some raves and
sawmill and Keynes and things like that
and then we'd want to go out into kind
of red-eye records in Ipswich and
desperately try and find the records we
had heard on these tapes try and
recreate these mixes appalling ly we did
that few years
sometimes I do in vinyl only sets on NTS
or you know I end up doing a vinyl only
static be it is a lot of fun playing
with vinyl and you know there is
definitely kind of like you turn off at
a gig and open your bag is full of vinyl
probably sneak into a record shop about
once a week
oh if ever I go to new city a way to go
into their local or most suitable record
store check out what's going on there I
also work at sounds universe one Sunday
a month so I basically end up local
shopping for a day and spending my wages
for my chords yeah I got it still buy a
lot but yeah mostly 7-inches loads of
reggae still bio kind of dance stuff on
twelve just cuz it does make a big
difference it does sound a lot nice when
you do David's a strange addiction'
about it you know understanding the
difference in sound I still get a
massive kick off buying vinyl and I've
ended up having a massive collection in
a very short space of time just because
I'm being around records and had access
to records and at the same time I've
caught a bargain wanting to hold that
piece of wax I do sometimes go for guilt
trips and think to myself is there any
need for this amount easier for my life
on wax do I really need this and so I
did have the idea the other later I'm
going to reduce it to like my most
valuable bits and they all mean
something it's not like a our work is
done we found Blake record store day is
kind of international celebration of
independent rep
was where lots of bands put out kind of
exclusive things these records tend to
cost more than your average leaves and
people go bit crazy and it kind of makes
loads of money for episodes all in one
big day now replace rate and verify
black market records Ernie was buying
here I think they're just dancing where
you come to get jammed on dubstep and
house I reckon this is the most fun
different shops are kind of known for
different things so you kind of get all
these little different subculture vinyl
is seen off like so many other formats
people just don't seem to get bored of
it it is kind of one of the few formats
Goods kind of every new generation that
comes along still kind of embrace vinyl
the whole kind of process of getting a
record out and its sleeve and kind of
opening it and kind of you know getting
it and cheese inside and the kind of the
place you want on it it kind of feels
like a bit of an event to me and never
go over the novelty of it of like this
kind of lump of life oil and I still
spend most of my time to stop staring at
it going how does it work I think it's
still the only format you can actually
see working so for real codes how this
point of view there's a bit of magic in
it
you
