Overview

Monday nights will be filled with sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll in the safety of your very own home thanks to the premiere of HBO’s Vinyl, the brainchild of Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese.

The logistics of Vinyl have been in the works for over a decade. It was back in the mid-'90s, post-grunge, pre-boy band, when Jagger first presented his screenplay idea to Scorsese. Wanting to focus on not the musicians themselves, whose scandalous escapades have been documented so regularly that the theme borders on cliché, but on the industry behind the talent. Focussing on record executives, their labels, their talent, and their outrageous lifestyles, Vinyl takes the road less travelled and explores a side of the '70s music scene we’ve barely laid eyes upon before.
