NUGGLED in a quiet corner of Domlur lies a house filled with nostalgia that beckons music enthusiasts.
With a passion for vinyl records, A Murugan, its owner, has curated a treasure trove of old movies, music, and related collections, transporting visitors back to the past, when music was a vibrant force shaping culture and society.
His journey with vinyl began organically, thanks to his father, a music enthusiast, who owned a record player and an impressively vast collection of records. "He owned huge radios and record players. Later, after 1984, I started collecting custom-made cassette players, which were affordable and accessible, and would only cost around ₹9," he notes.
