The Italian bestseller winner of the “FAI VIAGGIARE LA TUA STORIA” Prize, finally translated in English!
September 2001, Riviera Romagnola, Italy. Tata and Hi-Fi are the owners of VinylStuff, a small shop in Cesenatico that sells only vinyl records and is struggling to survive the shock wave of the digital music revolution.
The truth is that VinylStuff isn’t just a shop, it’s much more. Plutarco, rumored to have played with Pink Floyd, the Professor, an ex-physics teacher who thinks he’s Einstein, and Marione, an enthusiast who uses a kind of “magic touch” to choose his collector’s items, are just some of the characters you’ll meet in this strange place.
Tata and Hi-Fi engage in an epic battle between analog and digital, between good and evil, in notes, bits, crackles, and bytes, in the days when Napster is at its peak and the iPod is about to make its market debut. Who will prevail?
Published in Italy in 2018, winner of the “Fai Viaggiare la tua Storia” prize, “Addicted to Vinyl” was a publishing case with thousands copies sold.
From the Publisher
The Italian publishing case with thousands copies sold!
“…The scent that fills the fifty-seven square meters of the first floor is a little less intense than that in the sixty-two upstairs, that’s because of used records. It’s only if you’re used to hanging out in places like this that you can appreciate these olfactory nuances. As for me, I’ve been living among vinyl records since I was born. Just like my partner, the guy who sits in front of me and smiles all the time like a kid in front of an ice cream van on his allowance day.
To make a long story short, let me introduce my partner in business: Hi-Fi. Cool name, right? Nothing to do with things like perfect pitch or wonder-child in music. No, sirs. High fidelity, in Hi-Fi’s case, comes from the fact that he stored in his head the entire U.S. and U.K. discography produced from 1950 to the present day. I don’t know if you realize, but we’re talking about more than fifty years of recorded music from the countries that have churned out the most. Don’t believe me? Listen up…”
