Checked out a record store documentary at the nicely renovated Bloor Cinema at Bloor and Bathurst. The doc was on the last standing record shop in Teesside UK, which is still located up in Northern England as of looking up their website on the web yesterday. The store is a Rotate This/Vortex type of shop specializing in used and new music. They also dabble in the internet. The documentary takes place around the time of Record Store Day 2010. It was the official movie of Record Store Day 2011. The documentary is done by Jeanie Finlay who grew up 3 miles away from the shop. The caption on the official movie site describes the movie well "A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives."
I've seen a number of documentary/movies about record stores, record collecting and djs including High Fidelity, Ghost World and the Canadian documentary Vinyl. Sound It Out definately is a great engaging doc on record store life. Having worked in a Tower Records for 3.5 years of my life I definately relate to some of the quirkiness of the film.
Find below the trailer for the film. Recommended viewing of you can track down the 75 minute doc.
