I feel like the boy who cried wolf when I say that someday "Vinyl" will be out on DVD. But I promise. I have to admit that I find it funny whenever I hear that someone was talking about the film. Funny ha ha and funny uncomfortable. The very first time I ever showed the film, a little group of "serious" record collectors made it very clear to me how much they loathed the film. So after that, no matter how many other collectors over the years, have told me that they "got it", I still have this automatic gag reaction anytime I hear that record collectors were talking about the film. I agree that it isn't a "glorification" of record collecting but I do think of it as a celebration. And when I talk to people who see it, usually they tell me it made them want to buy more records and that makes me feel good.

great story Mark - reminds me of a guy described in, shit now I can't remember, some book who had become virtually homeless though he was from all kinds of money, and he had collected close to 1/2 million vinyl records and hardly ever played any of them - very sad and weird.

Is Vinyl out on DVD or video? I'd love to see it. I'm not a vinyl junkie by any means (CDs are my drug of choice,) but it sounds like I might sympathize with some aspects of it . . .
