Vinyl Junkie Blog.

I guess it had to happen at some time and today is the day.

Yes, i've gone and started a new blog all about my vinyl 45rpm singles.
The new blog is called, appropriately enough, 'Vinyl Junkie' and you can find it here:

"Vinyl Junkie"

I've talked about them in the past, made videos about them and even shared photo's of them in various places online, including here.
But, now is the time to have a dedicated space where they can live and breath all by themselves.

All is explained here: "Why Vinyl Junkie?"

So, why not head over there and see what it's all about?
