Vinyl Nation

This movie has some great information and they really do provide evidence for their thesis that vinyl is back and accessible to a mainstream and large number of individuals. However, it is just a series of people talking- none of them very interesting, filled with generic PBS style music. Including music by various artists that make us love our vinyl, and interviews with artists we know and other interesting people would have gone a long way. This was more a TV special than a film- it really didn't utilize the medium of a movie.

My favorite part about vinyl - that soft crackle sound when your needle first touches the record; Vinyl Nation reminds me how much I love that sound! Silly, I know. But there are a lot more relatable moments in this documentary; seeing the people and hearing their stories, you will relate. My first record, my favorite, keeping the player free of dust, visiting Tower Records and thumbing through the stacks looking for that next great album. You will remember, just like I did. A great, 90-minute show. Deserves your attention.

I didn't think I cared about vinyl records--or any audiorecordings, for that matter. But this documentary opened my eyes to a whole subculture of entertainment connoisseurship. This is beautifully filmed movie is multimedia journalism at its best. Unexpected, spontaneous situations happen throughout the film, and the one at the end made me want to hug everyone.

Vinyl Nation is such a well done documentary, great interviews, timing, music....it had everything a vinyl lover would want to see in a movie!

We loved that it included an emotional component to collecting and listening. Yet also showed pure facts in the history of the industry, as well as the production and engineering of each record.

Music and vinyl lovers unite and see this film! Kudos to everyone involved!

A warm and loving look at the people who love records. Not the stereotype of record stores and record collectors, but the humans who like to touch their music, is portrayed with care and balance. Also, pretty sure you'll learn something no matter how long you've been collecting. Beautifully shot and a story well told.
