This is a conversation by email with record collector Jonny Trunk, which
took place on April-May 2012, to prepare a monograph on his library music
collection.

Jonny Trunk founded the label Trunk Records in 1995, and it soon gained a
cult following as a result of its specialisation in unpublished jazz
recordings and film and television soundtracks. Trunk Records was the first
label to feature non-commercial library music, a genre that Trunk has
written about extensively. Trunk hosts a radio programme at London radio
station Resonance FM, and he regularly DJs around the world. He began
collecting records around 1982, but rather than focusing on traditional
record stores, he chose to comb second hand outlets and street markets. It
didn’t take long for him to realise that his obsession was not pop music or
modern sounds, but film soundtracks and television music. His record
collection now consists of around six thousand LPs and his library music
collection focuses on the period from 1966 to 1978 and exhaustively
explores british, french, italian and german productions.
