Vinyl part 3, Tales from the groove.” This book offers close to
30 interviews with a very diverse cast of characters. They
have in common a deep love of music. Passion for Vinyl
shares the unique experience of making, buying, collecting
and enjoying vinyl. It’s about the records that inspire people.
The way they shaped their lives. How they sparked them to
pick up an instrument, become a DJ, or start a label, pressing
plant or YouTube channel.
