Started reading it and could barely put it down. Fascinating to learn of collective habits of musicians and everyday folk. Delves into some history of music but mostly is about the habits of obsessive record collectors, which is interesting. It arrived in an excellent package in plenty of time. In perfect condition. Made a wonderful surprise gift. It was written in 2003 and according to my friend the obsession for vinyl collecting had gotten even more popular! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars well-written and thoughtful romp through vinyl obsession *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2003* I found myself smiling several times while reading this book, recognizing myself in several of the portraits of "obsessive" collectors. Although every collector mentioned here is in some level of denial ("I'm not as bad as _____", or "At least I don't listen to _____"), it's very interesting to hear some of their explanations (rationalizing?) for their collecting. I also discovered a few records I must track down myself (The "Scythian" and "Naughty Rock and Roll"!).I have a few suggestions for the author, if there is a second edition - I was thinking that both Lux Interior and Poison Ivy (of The Cramps) would have been excellent subjects for the book, as well as Jello Biafra. I've heard that they have amazing collections, as does the former lead singer of Canned Heat. Also, it would have been awesome for the book's actual cover to have graphics of some of the titles mentioned inside (like the former Searchers lead singer's solo EP, or The Click Kids LP). The Mohammed El-Bakkar LP was a nice touch, but Vol 3 ("Music of the African Arab") is the one you want! (I know, I know...)Finally, one correction --> In Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman plays a reel-to-reel tape of "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon," not a CD.This is a great book about a very interesting topic, and I'd recommend it to any record collector I know, or anybody interested in wild record collections and why people collect them! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars good *by B***J on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2009* This book works two ways. It interviews guys from big bands like REM and Sonic Youth about their collecting habits, and collectors who accumulate 78s, punk, old industrial records, any fetish you can name.An ok concept for a book, but not a great one. Vynal Junkies comes across more as an attempt to explain the fetish--which I am happily afflicted with--to the non-infected then a book for insiders. A carrier, i can tell you no one who does not enjoy this passion cares to understand it.The book's focus on vynal was also a letdown. I collect music, not records. Some people may hone in on records as an end, but most hardcore music heads go for all kinds of music, regardless of format. Albums, I got em'. CDs, 1000s. Reel to Reel, a few. If they find a way to put music into hamburger meat, I will be buying that, too. I would rather buy fifteen great records for $75 dollars than blow my wad on a 1970 Bulgarian mono pressing of Magical Mystery Tour on yellow delicious Apple vynal. It's the music, stupid, not the hen's tooth.Vynal Junkies narrows the scope by making it seem more about a fixation on the black disc than what collectors really want; orgasmic never ending tidal waves of great music.i also expected to come away from this overwhelmed, with 100s of new titles i did not know and had to get. Where to begin? The book does not do this.Still, it is worth a read if you like music, as the writting is good and there are some very funny moments, and very eccentric characters. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1703004-vinyl-junkies-adventures-in-record-collecting](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1703004-vinyl-junkies-adventures-in-record-collecting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
