The atmosphere of second-hand vinyl record dealing is like a black hole, time capsule and vortex to other worlds all rolled into one. Any Vinyler knows that. But how are all these records found? Who spends their lives looking for them? And why do they do it? There’s easier ways to make a living. Call it therapy, call it addiction, call it The Vinyl Frontier.
The Vinyl Frontier is a collection of stories set in Glasgow, involving the same characters who are rival Vinyl dealers and collectors and the competition between them to accumulate the rarest pieces. The rarer the collections you have to offer fellow addicts, the greater your reputation as a dealer is.
Without reputation, no one will come to your record store. Without customers, you’re just a collector with a shop leaking cash. Never forget that you’re only as good as your last collection.
This Promo Edition of The Vinyl Frontier has two stories. An A-side and a B-side. The A-Side is Deadline Day, the story of how a collection was sought after by a dealer and a collector. The B-Side is a shorter story, Moonlight Mile, about a collector selling his lifetime’s collection with dealers salivating over it.
