evilgerald Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm a film student at Deakin Uni and will potentially be doing a short documentary on the resurgence of vinyl. If there is anyone in Melbourne (Australia) with an impressive collection, I would love to possibly get a few shots of it and perhaps a few words. PM or reply if you're interested. (Also sorry if this is the wrong board for this.) EDIT: Here's the doco: [media=] [/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilgerald Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah, I've emailed Poison City and Hobbledehoy (although I think they're SA based now). And nah, 'fraid I don't have any plans of going to Brisbane soon. Any chance your coming to Melbourne sometime? hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerben Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 also track down Bruce Milne. He used to run the tote and his collection used to be amazing - i know he sold a lot of his records to try and keep the tote running, but i'm sure its still better than I could ever hope to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerben Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 also Corey Delley - used to be in "in name and blood" and used to work at Missing Link Records - crazy collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks. Also I'd recommend just going to Melbourne record stores and asking around. Probably easiest way to do this.

evilgerald Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Also Andrew from Poison City replied to my email and said he'd be down with helping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifornais Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 My collection is pretty unflattering so I'd recommend what others have said (Poison City/Ritual) and also Craig from Midnight Funeral Music. That guy loves vinyl more than anyone haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrythezero Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm a collector from Melbourne with a couple hundred LPs and wouldn't mind participating. Shoot me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Try and get hold of bosma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilgerald Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 So this is getting the go ahead and everything. I'm interviewing Andrew from Poison City (the perspective of a store/label owner), Craig from Midnight Funeral (the perspective of a collector) and Jackson the bass player of Hollow Everdaze (the perspective of a band releasing vinyl). Also has anyone ever done anything with Zenith Records? They're the only pressing plant in Melbourne and I've tried to contact them 6 or 7 times, but they never reply. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm in Perth if I can help. Vinyl factory in Sydney may be worth contacting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilgerald Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Zenith is notorious for never replying to anything. Ah fair enough. At least that means they're not personally avoiding me. I'm in Perth if I can help. Vinyl factory in Sydney may be worth contacting Thanks for the offer, but Perth would be too hard. And with the little progress I'm making with Zenith, I might even have to road trip to Sydney's plant... Also thanks to everyone for replying with help. I do appreciate it. I already have a collector (Craig) lined up. But if any Melbourne collectors here are seriously interested in helping, have an impressive collection (like very impressive), would be happy to talk on camera and are free this weekend. Feel free to reply or PM. The more the merrier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
