Jimmy Endicott was murdered. Maxwell Reid was part of something big once, at least for a little while. As the bass player for post-punk darlings La Plage, he toured the world with their wondrous hit single (and single hit) Kreuzberg Wiedersehen. Great days, or so he keeps getting told. Forty years on, now a part-time lecturer and part-time Northern Soul DJ, Max investigates the death of his old lead singer, Jimmy Endicott. Set on a journey that brings him face to face with bitter ex-bandmates, post-pandemic cults, corrupt council employees, conspiracy theorists, and a messianic club owner, all the while helped (or hindered) by Debs Endicott, the volatile adult daughter of the deceased, Max discovers that the secret behind Jimmy's death lies in a past he has mostly managed to forget. Until now. Told over 45 tracks and divided into Side A and Side B, 'Black Vinyl' is part mystery, part alternative history, and part fractured memorial to the ghosts of the 80s music scene, all played out as though on a scratched record that keeps skipping back to the same haunting refrain: Jimmy Endicott was murdered.
