Addicted to Vinyl

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.
