Rewind time as video fan opens store

- BY JOHN KELLY

A FILM fan is so convinced video will make a comeback he has opened up a shop renting out tapes.

Andy Johnson believes they are like vinyl records – popular with young people despite nearly being killed off by CDS.

Andy, 38, also has a number of video recorders which people can hire to play the video tapes on.

His shop, Videodysse­y in Liverpool, opened this weekend. One Twitter user described it as an “amazing experience”.

He said: “The majority of people who have found out tell me that I’m mad.

“But I think people like to have something physical they can hold.

“It’s amazing how videos have stood the test of time. They look great, feel great, and they’re built to last.”
