(4 out of 5 stars)
"Well, I was a big fan of Michael Fremers last DVD, so for me this was a must have. This time around he delves into further untouched aspects of this fun hobby of vinyl records. (and I don't even have a turntable...yet) He covers how records are made with trips to pressing plants, and shows how the laquers are plated, records pressed and packaged, and an exstensive discusion on how to clean records and the materials and equipment used. He also gets into some basics of record collecting, why people do it, and what some of the things people look for. It's always entertaining and educational as well. If you don't have his first video, buy that one first. This one is really in addition to the material covered in the first DVD.
The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was because of the production quility. At times the video quality isn't quite what the last disk was. (Older footage not considered) I also always wanted to see his personal stereo, and have him play something on it, but he doesn't play any actual music because he says he doesn't have permission to...So why not get permission to? Music is what it's all about right? I the first disk, he at least shows you his turntable. A worthwhile buy though, and educational even if you don't own a turntable yourself. Vinyl is making a comeback!"
