Old Records Never Die
A memoir for anybody who ever loved their music collection a little too much and wondered why those tattered, water‑damaged albums still matter so much.
I gave away most of my vinyl records several decades ago, which was clearly a horrible idea. I’m aware that mistakes were made, okay?
Things changed. I got older, became a dad, and suddenly the records I had lost started to matter again in ways I hadn’t expected.
Why do we want them back? Why go on this ridiculous journey, scouring flea markets and mid‑day record shows, trying to track down every battered record sleeve that ever meant something to us?
This book is about that hunt, about memory, about how music gets tangled up with the rest of our lives and refuses to let go.
