George Ginn - 'The Record Album' Independent Record store, Brighton, UK
I first met George in 2012 when I was in a desperate & frantic state searching the vinyl shops of Brighton UK. My entire vinyl collection consisting of an over 30 year obsession of 'Who' vinyl and 12" 90s indie classics including The Charlatans 'Then' amongst others was mistakenly passed on to a charity shop by someone while in storage. I ventured to 'The Record Album' in hope of a result and got talking with George about his shop and collections. A shop one can get lost in for hours with its vast collection of wonderful rare film scores. George understood my attachment to my lost collection and we bonded over music, pressings, digital sound and Henry Mancini. A photographic portrait followed my initial visit which then led to some filming and talking on camera. This is in an introduction to George and his shop in Brighton. George turned 85 on 16th April 2015 and in light of Record Store Day 2015, this is to celebrate independent record shops and George as part of that.
