Vinyl
This history of the LP is a must-have for any music connoisseur! When vinyl LP records took over the music industry in the late 1950s, a new era began. No longer bound by the time constraints of the shellac 78s that had been in use since the 1910s, recording artists could now present an entire album—rather than a lone three-minute single—on a vinyl LP, giving listeners a completely new way to experience their music. In recent years, vinyl has found a second life as an art form, collected and appreciated by music connoisseurs across the world. Vinyl: The Art of Making Records examines the origins of the vinyl format and its evolution throughout the 20th century, and also provides an in-depth look at how vinyl LPs are manufactured and packaged—often with striking artwork that makes them beloved by music enthusiasts today. Also included are four removable art prints, each representing a sample of album covers from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Hold It in Your Hands: The Enduring Magic of CDs and Vinyl
Remember the thrill of peeling the plastic off a brand-new album? The joy of flipping through liner notes, admiring the cover art, and feeling the weight of music in your hands? In Hold It in Your Hands, we celebrate the lasting magic of physical media—CDs, vinyl, and the tangible experience of owning music. In an era of endless streams and disposable playlists, something has been lost: the connection, the ritual, the permanence. This book is a love letter to the formats that defined generations, from the crisp clarity of compact discs to the warm, crackling nostalgia of vinyl records. We’ll dive into the history, the cultural significance, and the sheer joy of building a collection you can see, touch, and cherish. For music lovers, collectors, and nostalgia seekers alike, this is a passionate defense of why physical music isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.
There Was No Alternative
Grunge. Flannel. Generation X. In 1993, Seattle was the capital of the world, Nirvana was king, and slackers were everywhere. When the Red Hot organization, a group of activists dedicated to raising money and awareness of AIDS, released their third compilation CD featuring the biggest bands of the era--Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, The Breeders, Nirvana and more it quickly became the touchstone of a generation. Rolling Stone called No Alternative a "jaw-dropping compilation of musical gems." This book takes a look back at what happened to the bands involved with No Alternative. It includes new interviews with the musicians and others behind the record, and chronicles the downfall of an industry, the taming of a devastating illness, and the arrival of another global pandemic. It's about growing up, saying goodbye, and proving once more that you can't go home again (even if that's where you left all of your CDs).
