We spoke to Instagram follower @musicandfilmenthusiast about his audio equipment, record collection and his favourite album
When did you start collecting records?
I remember buying my first important record as if it was today. It was 1984, and I was fascinated by pop music. With considerable difficulty I got Limahl's ‘Don't Suppose’ and Dead Or Alive's ‘Youthquake’ albums.
What is your favourite record?
Considering how many discs I have in my collection, the answer for this question is very hard. Without any doubts, vinyl records of bands like Kajagoogoo, Duran Duran, Wham!, Culture Club, Thompson Twins and Frankie Goes To Hollywood will always be very important to me. But, my musical revival came after listening to Lana Del Rey's ‘Lust for Life’, which I call my favourite and most important album.
Who is your favourite artist/band?
I love lots of artist whose songs I've been listening to for several years, which I mentioned earlier, but now my number one is definitely Lana Del Rey, whose voice I fell in love with.
What is your favourite music based magazine?
For years the most important music magazines I reach for are What Hi-Fi? and Hi-Fi Choice.
