Publisher's Summary

A Life in Thirty-Five Boxes: How I Survived Selling My Record Collection investigates our impulse to collect - particularly our emotional attachment to vinyl - and the notion that every record collection reflects our life story. 

Author Dave Haslam meets several exceptional enthusiasts with fascinating vinyl collections and tracks how his own collection built; the pleasures and perils of record shops; and his decades of record-buying - up to the cathartic moment he decides to sell all his vinyl to DJ Seth Troxler and waves good-bye to 35 boxes of records as they're loaded into the back of a van.
