Reviews

Graham Sharpe's journey around the second-hand record shops of the UK is full of laugh out loud anecdotes and wonderful observations. A great read not just for vinyl fans, but for anybody who has ever visited a record shop
*Graham Jones, author of The Vinyl Revival and the Shops That Made it Happen*

Sharpe's enthusiasm is contagious
*Library Journal*

A mesmerizing blend of memoir, travel, music and social history
*The Vinyl District*

Graham owns more than 3000 LPs, and this amusing, entertaining and warm tome is a semi-autobiographical love letter to records, record collecting/ collectors, and secondhand record shops
*The Journalist*

This book is a love letter to record collecting and the record shops that feed the addictions of those who have fallen under the spell of vinyl.
