Vinyl Dementia • Book/Fanzine by Craig Brackenridge

Vinyl Dementia by Craig Brackenridge is a guide to the essential vinyl albums of the 1980s Psychobilly movement, covering the records and bands that helped define one of the UK's most distinctive underground scenes. A great starting point for anyone wanting to explore the classic Psychobilly vinyl catalogue, as well as a useful reference for collectors hunting down the key releases from the era.

The book features major names including The Meteors, The Ricochets, The Sharks, King Kurt, The Sting-Rays, The Vibes, The Guana Batz, Frenzy, The Krewmen, Demented Are Go, Ug & The Cavemen, Skitzo and The Coffin Nails. With such a strong roll-call of Psychobilly favourites, Vinyl Dementia is packed with material for both newcomers to the scene and dedicated collectors.

If your shelves contain battered Psychobilly LPs, obscure singles and records rescued from the depths of second-hand record shops, Vinyl Dementia belongs alongside them. A useful guide to the vinyl that made the 1980s Psychobilly movement what it was, and an excellent way to discover albums you may have somehow missed.
