In The Press

The New York Times
[Eilon Paz’s] lavishly illustrated coffee-table book contains portraits of some 130 ‘record diggers,’ as he sometimes calls them, who have often gravitated to genres as obscure as Turkish psychedelia, ‘Sesame Street’ albums, lounge acts, sexploitation and horror film soundtracks, ’60s girl groups from France and Japan, and even colored discs … visceral and joyous.
Larry Rohter
The Guardian
For his cult Dust & Grooves website, Eilon Paz photographs vinyl obsessives alongside their extensive collections. The resulting pictures and interviews, now published in print, reveal a highly personal and passionate take on music culture.
Killian Fox
The Wall Street Journal
[Paz] peppered Mr. Portnoy with questions about records and asked for personal stories that connected him to his collection. [He] acted at times like a fellow record enthusiast and at other times like a psychoanalyst.
David Shapiro
Wired Magazine
“Beautiful and engrossing … These personal bits are what elevate the book beyond just a luxurious piece of phonographic pornography (though it works on that level too). Any collector’s horde is a window to their past. While browsing our own bins, we can remember where we were when we bought each record, who we were with, which songs are married to which specific emotions.”
Michael Calore
Billboard Magazine
Eilon Paz spent nearly six years photographing record collectors, starting in NewYork’s East Village at the store Tropicalia in Furs before moving onto the private rooms where collections are kept in all manner of order and chaos … Some of the more fascinating photographs show the enormity of a collection but also feel extremely intimate.
Phil Gallo
Vice Magazine
[Paz] peers into the peculiar private lives and passions of these collectors. He took this inspiration, packed a suitcase, and ventured around the world to document the lives of music lovers—hopefully illustrating how music moves throughout humanity. He photographed record dealers in West Africa to various hip-hop producers’ collections in Japan. Seriously. Dude went everywhere.
