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.
Plot summary
The vinyl record renaissance over the past decade has brought new fans to a classic format and transformed our idea of a record collector: younger, both male and female, multicultural. This same revival has made buying music more expensive, benefited established bands over independent artists and muddled the question of whether vinyl actually sounds better than other formats. Vinyl Nation digs into the crates of the record resurgence in search of truths set in deep wax: Has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?

Vinyl Nation warmed my heart
A Vinyl Lover's Dream
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!
You love Spotify? Watch this!
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.
