"Jimmy Endicott was murdered."Maxwell Reid was part of something big once. At least for alittle while. As bass player for post-punk darlings La Plage, he touredthe world with their wondrous hit single (and single hit) KreuzbergWiedersehen. Great days. So he keeps getting told. Forty years on - and now a part-time lecturer, part-timeNorthern Soul DJ - Max investigates the death of his old lead singer, JimmyEndicott. Set on a journey that brings him face to face with bitterex-bandmates, post pandemic cults, corrupt council employees, conspiracytheorists and a messianic club owner - all the while helped (or hindered) byDebs Endicott, volatile adult daughter of the deceased - Max discovers that thesecret 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, part fracturedmemorial to the ghosts of the 80s music scene, all played out as though on ascratched record that keeps skipping back to the same haunting refrain: "Jimmy Endicott was murdered."
