Production

Vinyl is often credited as Edie Sedgwick's first appearance in film, although she in fact appeared in a non-speaking role in the earlier Warhol film Horse (1965). Sedgwick has no lines of dialogue in the entire film. Vinyl was filmed unrehearsed and was also performed live in various stage productions.

Legacy

Vinyl is included in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Coincidentally, a HBO series by the name of Vinyl had Warhol as a recurring character; despite this the series has nothing in common with the Warhol flick because it is about music in New York rather than art.
