Brilliant Deleted Scene from High Fidelity
If you read Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, you’ll remember the bit where Rob goes to visit a woman who’s selling her husband’s records. What he finds is…amazing.
I was most disappointed that the film version starring John Cusack omitted this particular episode. Turns out it was shot but cut. See?

I would have bought ’em…
Ditto to buying them, no guilt whatsoever. Too bad this scene didn’t make the cut.
I loved this scene from the book! I remember Googling all records that he drooled over while sorting through the collection. Was very disappointed it didn’t make the cut.
I’d forgotten all about this! I’ve watched the film too many times. I would have bought them for $50, no problem.
This and a couple other scenes are bonus footage on the DVD version.
Great scene. I could understand his conflict… to a point. I didn’t realize singles were worth so much, though.. Even with no cover art or anything, they are that sought after? I’m a bit young for that first vinyl era though I guess (born in the 80’s).
Anyway, more importantly – can anyone name all of the ‘top 5’ albums above the collection? I know 3, but I guess Pet Sounds is a gimme. The other two I know are the Chocolate Watchband – No Way Out, and the 13th Floor Elevators, who are featured on the soundtrack. Anyone care to take a crack?
I cheated and used Google Image Search. I won’t write them in here in case someone wants to take a crack at it, but click here for the spoilers: http://pastebin.com/mSrssfes
