BBC Radio 3 broadcast: 17th May 2018
Max is joined by record collector, DJ and broadcaster Jonny Trunk who reports back on his trip to meet a fellow collector Lucy Woodward, owner of 17,000 vinyl records. Alongside everything from rare early music recordings to obscure library music releases, Lucy's specialist area is transmission discs, the music that accompanied the test card screen on your television in the days before 24 hour broadcasts. Jonny delves into the mind of the collector asking where the interest comes from, how to shop for rare records and why a complete set is so satisfying.
Donning his best beret, Max celebrates two icons of French chanson Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf, and there's afrocentric grooves from alt-keyboard player Jessica Lauren.
