About

The psychology of collecting records - whether they be Classical, Jazz, Popular or Rock is seen in interviews with both dealers and collectors all entwined with Devensky’s visual and sound obsessions. A powerful Documentary which shortly shows that it really doesn’t matter what one collects, for their ‘missing needs’ are all the same. The final incident is an interview with a disgruntled 78rpm record dealer who tells an unforgettable story of why in enter this business culminating, when, in otter frustration, he proceeds to destroys his stock of recordings.
