Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton: Documentary Drops The Needle on Stones Throw Records.

Shortly after contacting an anonymous address for independent label Stones Throw Records, founder Peanut Butter Wolf responded in person to Director Jeff Broadway’s query about a 4 minute video. Before he knew it, Broadway was shooting feature length Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton; a tour de force documentary on the groundbreaking record company. The movie features as much archival material as it promises it’s weight in vinyl – tons. Featured interviews include Kanye, Peanut Butter, Mike D., Snoop, Common, J Dilla and tons more. You don’t need to be a black crack addict to watch this one. Catch it currently at select cities across North America and Europe.
