About John Tait

John Tait comes from a teaching background but for the last 15 years has been in his dream job – running his own record store in Essendon. When things are quiet he writes and collaborates on music related books: Vanda & Young; The Dingoes Lament; Captain Matchbox & Beyond; Tait’s Modern Guide to Record Collecting; and a few in the works! He has also written feature articles, obituaries, liner notes, and some trivia questions for RocKwiz. He has recently developed a short course called The Secrets of Record Collecting.
