Forty years after their single hit, La Plage bass
player Maxwell Reid investigates singer Jimmy Endicott’s death, confronting
ex-bandmates, post-pandemic cults and his own past in a darkly comic
memoir-mystery.
“Jimmy Endicott was murdered.”
Maxwell Reid was part of something big once. At least for a
little while. As bass player for post-punk darlings La Plage, he toured
the world with their wondrous hit single (and single hit) Kreuzberg
Wiedersehen.
Great days. So he keeps getting told.
Forty years on - and now a part-time lecturer, 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, 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, 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.”
