Love a good vinyl related story, and recently came across this little book from . It’s a slim volume, but a great story about finding, then helping to sell a long thought lost vinyl pressing plant hidden away in an industrial until in Africa. Only comment would be it could use more pictures, as it’s a hell of a discovery! This story seems right up your street! I’ve only ever made it as far as South Africa and the which is well worth a visit if you are in that part of the world! Highly recommended.
