VIC:Music fans find groove of vinyl culture at exhibition

Music lovers can drop the needle on a new exhibition that celebrates the rich culture of vinyl records.

The Vinyl Factory: Reverb opens at ACMI, Australia's museum of screen culture, in Melbourne on Friday in an early taste of the city's annual RISING arts festival.

The show was originally staged at London's 180 Studios in 2024, with films and installations exploring the influence of vinyl on art, fashion and society.

Music firm The Vinyl Factory acquired the EMI Records facility about 25 years ago and now runs the only large-scale record pressing plant in the UK.

Its vinyl is created on the original machines that first pressed albums by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols.

The label has so far released about 500 records by musicians such as Daft Punk, Massive Attack, Pet Shop Boys and Thom Yorke.
