Rat Records in Camberwell is where most of my record collection has come from. It's like someone with my exact taste in music has handed them all their old vinyl.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I collect vintage vinyl records.
I have a lot of vinyl, but I only buy old records on vinyl. Like secondhand. It's too expensive otherwise.
I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.
I still love records, and I've been fortunate that my parents bought me a record player so I didn't just have my vinyls to stare at!
One of the first things I picked up when I was very, very young out of a record store was work from Peter Saville - the early things he used to do for Factory Records.
The record business has always mystified me. Sometimes there are reasons why things sell or don't sell that can't be understood by mere mortals.
I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.
Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don't really own the album. And it's not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.
I'm buying records a lot, like, every week I'm just buying old reissues or old originals or new records that I have heard about.
Most great records really start with the drums.
