Documentary packed with memories, images and insights into the power of
pop and rock's first and most abiding artefact - the seven inch, vinyl
45 rpm record; a small, perfectly-formed object that seems to contain
the hopes, fears, sounds and experiences of our different generations.
The viewer is invited on a journey of celebration from the 1950s rock n
roll generation to the download kids of today, taking in classic singles
from all manner of artists in each decade - from the smell of vinyl to
the delights of the record label; from the importance of the record shop
to the bittersweet brevity of the song itself; from stacking singles on
a Dansette spindle to dropping the needle and thrilling to the intro.
With contributions from Noddy Holder, Jack White, Richard Hawley, Suzi
Quatro, Holly Johnson, Jimmy Webb, Pete Waterman, Norah Jones, Mike
Batt, Graham Gouldman, Miranda Sawyer, Norman Cook, Trevor Horn, Neil
Sedaka, Paul Morley, Rob Davies, Brian Wilson and Mike Love.
