A wonderful illustrated book that celebrates the vinyl lifestyle and the legend of the record!
Cult and cultural history around the black disc: collectors' items, cover art & co.
Over 200 photographs delight record collectors and music lovers alike
And it's still spinning, the good old vinyl record. As persistently as its demise was prophesied, the vinyl record outlasts all technological trends: vinyl collectors, DJs, music fans - all are loyal to it - and love this book of photographs. The history of the vinyl record is documented in over 200 colour and black-and-white photographs, spiced with vinyl knowledge about the record press, sound furniture, record shops and record cafés. Art legends such as Andy Warhol shaped cover art, LPs such as the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" became coveted, highly traded collector's items, and many a scandalous cover made the record a cult object in the first place. If there is a top 5 list for vinyl fans, this outstanding illustrated book is right at the top!
