In our forum we are discussing about different issues. But have never seen any discussion on audiophiles among celebs so I would like to start it.
Of the celebs the first name that comes in to my mind is Satyajit Ray. He had a good collection of vinyl records. He had a collection of western classical . In an interview given by his wife Bijoya Ray I read that he had to dispose of his vinyls to meet some purpose. Matinee idol Uttam Kumar himself was a good singer and he had a Garrard turntable. He also must have a good collection of vinyls. Manna Dey was a perfectionist. It is said that he was never satisfied during rehearsal. At the time of recording his songs, mostly Bengali Adhunik he arranged his own musical hands spending money. He was very much concerned with the recording of his songs. The same can be told about our beloved Rahul Dev Burman. He had the same mentality as Manna Dey. While listening to his music on vinyls this fact becomes clear. Film director actor Gautam Ghosh has a passion for vinyls. Because in some of his documentaries he has shown some collection of it. Hemanta Mukherjee , the singer and music director also had a good collection of vinyls.
I am sure that many FMs here can say more than I on this matter. Friends please do come and write about it.
Sorry forget to mention the name of Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino who are also vinyl enthusiasts.
Regards
