A photographic look into the world of vinyl record collectors-including Questlove-in the most intimate of environments-their record rooms.
Compelling photographic essays from photographer Eilon Paz are paired with in-depth and insightful interviews to illustrate what motivates these collectors to keep digging for more records.
