An American short film featuring Vinyl collectors, producers and aficionados. From the owner of a Charlie Parker album worth £5000 who believes in playing it and prefers mono to stereo, to the producers at Norton Records where rock musicians who had fallen off the charts are restored to vinyl to be heard again. To that add the proprietor of Fynl Vinyl, straight out of a Nick Hornby novel and a homemade Gramophone brought by it's owner and maker to Washington Square Park every Sunday to play a collection of 78's.

Norton Records has been running since the mid eighties, and have reissued many long forgotten classic retro rock n'roll, rockabilly, garage and r n' b nuggets. Amongst them is The Sonics 'have love will travel' .. possibly one of the finest records ever made, and well worth two and a half minutes of anybodys time.
