The digger-turned-DJ
Keb Darge, is a Scottish DJ who plays mainly US soul and rockabilly music. He helped to pioneer the Northern Soul movement and brought it to London in the 1980s. Darge has a large collection of seven-inch records, many of which are "Deep Funk" from the US.
"There are two reasons why I collect vinyl. Firstly because I find it easier to work with as a DJ. I can flick through a box of seven-inches and very quickly spot what I want to play next by the label design - I mostly collect small independent label stuff. Secondly, because I am always chasing new discoveries from the 50s, and 60s. I can only find these on the aforementioned sevens, as virtually anything else is known to the collectors world via compilation CDs and compilation albums."
The digger-turned-dealer
In the 80s, Gerald Short's penchant for rare soul, funk and jazz motivated him to travel through the US in search of old LPs and singles. Finding them in abundance and at low prices, Short set up a mail-order business based around his record stall in Camden Market, London. Prices in the US soon rose, so, in 1998 he established the Jazzman Records label in order to reissue the rare and sought-after tracks.
"People really appreciate vinyl these days. If you compare holding an iPod with holding a record - there is no comparison. We're human beings and we like things we can see, hold and listen to.
"I don't care about downloads at all.
"I may be old fashioned but there are so many reasons why I prefer records and so do other people - to such an extent that me and other labels selling obscure and esoteric music can survive on vinyl and have done for years"
The sighing sceptic
Legendary house DJ Carl Cox, who has 150,000 records in his garage, is sceptical about the format's ability to adapt to the way we consume music.
"It's very hard to obtain upfront music on vinyl like it used to be years ago. I used to go down to my local shops and spend £200-500 on records. Now everything is sent to me and my computer.
"I remember, as a kid, buying my first record from HMV - it was Diana Ross's Love Hangover. I ran home and put the needle on the record thinking, 'wow that's awesome.'
"I had that for many years - and now I'm not able to do it.
"It's taken away what was great about playing music."
