Film Review - Adjust Your Tracking (2013)

Adjust your Tracking is another VHS doco but unlike Rewind This which focused on the history of the format this one focuses much more on the collectors themselves.

And boy oh boy did I have fun watching this doco as the collectors interviewed here were kind of interesting telling their tales of how they find their tapes (stories that yours truly can identify with) as well as some who show off their collections and there are some fantastic ones on show here with some of the interviewees admitting they have thousands of tapes on large shelves, makes mine look puny in comparison.

Also discussed here is how communities and friendships have sprung up because of collecting these tapes and also how some pay huge amounts of cash just for that one rare tape that's very hard to find.

I don't have a lot to say about this doco other than I really enjoyed it but it isn't for everyone but I will give it a 4 out of 5.
