Putting the book together was more straight forward than I actually thought it was going to be and I think that was because of my design background. Day to day, I work as a Landscape Architect so IвЂ™m designing on a daily basis. The book looks lovely and you mention you work in design вЂ“ has that background been helpful when producing the book? The idea started as an online blog initially and then progressed into the coffee table book.вЂќ вЂњWhen I was put on furlough from my job, it gave me the time to start asking those questions to other collectors using Instagram as the initial point of contact and taking the conversations from there. For example, questions like where they shopped for records or why they collect records always used to pop into my head when I would scroll my Instagram feed.вЂќ The vinyl community on there is like no other community I think and I had always wondered about the stories behind other peoples record collections. My Instagram account is populated by my record collection and I only post photos of records, never myself. вЂњIt was Instagram that really led me to starting the book project. Iain is clearly an avid record collector so I asked him what led him to want to talk to other collectorsвЂ¦ (I should declare Iain has interviewed me for the book, which hopefully wonвЂ™t put you off. No longer the preserve of DJs, wearers of army camouflage or simply people who grew up in the sixties and never lost faith in the medium, itвЂ™s a trawl through what is a more diverse world of newer collectors, clearly sometimes obsessive, but reassuringly more often very normal people whose love of music and records is something the reader can happily identify with and who have often found their interest in music rekindled by the vinyl revival. The result is a fascinating snapshot of record collectors in 2021.

Iain began interviewing record collectors he discovered across the world on Instagram last year, posting snippets of those conversations on his website.

The idea came not from New York this time but Yorkshire, home of record collector Iain Wakefield. So to capture this very different world a lavish new coffee table sized book has been published, which takes a snapshot of the vinyl community in 2021 over 450 pages and with over 700 photographs. No longer do we need to dress in combat gear to attract the attention of interested creatives (although it might be worth a try, right? #gunsandvinyl might yet be a thing). If the evil algorithms donвЂ™t do it for you, a simple hashtag will direct you towards, or away from if the prospect sounds grim, of thousands of the worldвЂ™s most ardent collectors of vinyl. It has certainly become easier to find people with a similar interest online. Needless to say, in the years since PazвЂ™s book, not only has an interest in vinyl sky-rocketed, but social mediaвЂ™s influence вЂ“ for good and ill вЂ“ has grown. And in 2010, there was the launch of a small photography-based app on the IOS App Store: Instagram. At the same time, reports emerged that vinyl sales had stopped declining for the first time in two decades, and were in fact rising. People who used vinyl to discover music and who had held on to their records, despite looking at a future where MP3 files were the dominant way of consuming music and were clearly set for decades of dominance. The resulting blog and subsequent book, вЂњDust and GroovesвЂќ is a minor classic, and revealed threads of enthusiasm and shared passions for old funk, rock, jazz and soul records linking collectors around the globe.Д«etween 20 Paz interviewed well known musicians and DJs like Gilles Peterson, Questlove and Four Tet. Paz found the subsequent conversation so fascinating it led him to further conversations with similar vinyl-collecting folk, cataloguing a New York / Brooklyn crate-digging scene. If weвЂ™re being critical, Paz hasnвЂ™t provided an entirely satisfactory story around the gun). It may just have been something he picked up in Wal-Mart with his groceries. It turned out Frank Goessner had a passion for travelling around West Africa searching for records. As a music fan, Paz was intrigued and (perhaps bravely) met Goessner to ask him about his records, and to understand why he was posing with an AK-47 in front of them. Goessner was wearing combat gear, holding an AK-47, surrounded by a mass of records. In 2008 New York photographer Eilon Paz was shown a photo of a man, Frank Goessner, a German, who lived around the corner from Paz in Brooklyn.
